The Inverse of a Linear Transformation
Solve the matrix equation $A(B+C X)=D$ for $X$. (You may assume that all the matrices are square and invertible.)

Matrix Inversion
If $A$ is a $2 \times 2$ matrix given by $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right],$ then $A$ is invertible if and only if $a d-b c \neq 0 .$ If $a d-b c \neq 0$ verify that the inverse is $A^{-1}=\frac{1}{a d-b c}\left[\begin{array}{rr}{d} & {-b} \\ {-c} & {a}\end{array}\right]$
