We say two matrices A and B commute with each other if AB = BA.
To determine the conditions that must be satisfied by B in order for it to commute with A, we can set up a system of linear equations involving the variables w, x, y, and z.
The equations can be written as follows:
1) Z = w + 4x
2) X = y
These equations are the fewest number of equations necessary to guarantee that A and B commute.
