### Finding the Inverse of a Matrix

**Problem Statement:**
Find a matrix \( B \) such that \( AB = I \), where

\[ 
A = \begin{bmatrix}
6 & 1 \\
-6 & 6 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

and

\[ 
I = \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 1 
\end{bmatrix}.
\]

**Hint:**
Let \( B = \begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d 
\end{bmatrix} \).

### Explanation:

In this problem, you need to find the matrix \( B \) that, when multiplied by matrix \( A \), results in the identity matrix \( I \). The identity matrix \( I \) is the matrix that does not change any matrix it multiplies with, which in 2D looks like 

\[ 
I = \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 1 
\end{bmatrix}.
\]

To find \( B \), set \( B \) as 

\[ 
B = \begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d 
\end{bmatrix}.
\]

You will need to identify the elements \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(d\) such that \( AB = I \).

### Steps to Solve:
1. Multiply \( A \) by \( B \).
2. Set the resulting matrix equal to the identity matrix \( I \).
3. Solve the resulting system of equations to find the values of \( a \), \( b \), \( c \), and \( d \).

### Multiplication:

\[ 
AB = \begin{bmatrix}
6 & 1 \\
-6 & 6 
\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d 
\end{bmatrix} 
= \begin{bmatrix}
6a + c & 6b + d\\
-6a + 6c & -6b + 6d 
\end{bmatrix}.
\]

### System of Equations:

Since \( AB = I \),

\[ \begin{bmatrix}
6a + c & 6b + d \\
-6a + 6c & -6b + 6d 
\end{b
