Question
If an \( n \times n \) matrix \( B \) with \(\det(B) \neq 0\), then for each vector \( b \) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \( Bx = b \) has several solutions \( x = B^{-1}b \), where \( B^{-1} \) is the inverse of \( B \).

- True
- False

**Question:**

If \( A \) is invertible, then elementary row operations that reduce \( A \) to the identity \( I_n \) also reduce \( A^{-1} \) to \( I_n \).

- ○ True
- ○ False

**Explanation:**

This question asks whether the same elementary row operations that can transform a matrix \( A \) into the identity matrix \( I_n \) can also transform its inverse \( A^{-1} \) into the identity matrix \( I_n \). Elementary row operations are basic operations used in linear algebra, including row swapping, row multiplication, and row addition, which don't change the solution set of a system.
