Chapter 2, Problem 52E

Suppose that in the definition of a group G, the condition that for each element a in G there exists an element b in G with the property a b = b a = e is replaced by the condition a b = e . Show that b a = e . (Thus, a one-sided inverse is a two-sided inverse.)

Solve the linear system of equations attached using Gaussian elimination (not Gauss-Jordan) and back subsitution. Remember that: A matrix is in row echelon form if Any row that consists only of zeros is at the bottom of the matrix. The first non-zero entry in each other row is 1. This entry is called aleading 1. The leading 1 of each row, after the first row, lies to the right of the leading 1 of the previous row.
