Solution and Explanation

Since \( |A| = 50 \neq 0 \), the inverse \( A^{-1} \) exists. The formula for finding \( \mathbf{X} \) is: \[ \mathbf{X} = A^{-1}B \] To calculate \( A^{-1} \), we use the formula: \[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|} \cdot \text{adj}(A) \] where \( \text{adj}(A) \) is the adjugate of \( A \), which is obtained by taking the transpose of the cofactor matrix.
