The quickest way would probably be to compute the inverse of \(\begin{bmatrix}9&4\\2&1\end{bmatrix}\), then multiply both sides by it. \[\begin{bmatrix}9&4\\2&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}=\frac{1}{\begin{vmatrix}9&4\\2&1\end{vmatrix}}\begin{bmatrix}1&-4\\-2&9\end{bmatrix}=\frac{1}{9-8}\begin{bmatrix}1&-4\\-2&9\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-4\\-2&9\end{bmatrix}\] Now, \[\begin{bmatrix}1&-4\\-2&9\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}9&4\\2&1\end{bmatrix}X=X=\begin{bmatrix}1&-4\\-2&9\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-9&-6\\-1&-8\end{bmatrix}=\cdots \]
