Let A be a m × n matrix. If there exists a matrix L of type n × m such that LA = I n ,

 If A is non-singular matrix then the solution of above system can be found by X  A 1B . The
solution in this case is unique. If A is a singular matrix i.e. | A | 0 , then the system will have no
unique solution if (Adj A) B = 0 and the system has no solution (i.e. it is inconsistent) if (Adj A) B  0

Where Adj A is the adjoint of the matrix A, which is obtained by taking transpose of the matrix
obtained by replacing each element of matrix A with corresponding copactors.
