Step 1.1

The determinant of a $2 \times 2$ matrix can be found using the formula $| \begin{array}{c} a & b \\ c & d \end{array} | = a d - c b$ .

$12 \cdot 23 - 12 \cdot 23$

Step 1.2.1.1

Multiply $12$ by $23$ .

$276 - 12 \cdot 23$

Step 1.2.1.2

Multiply $- 12$ by $23$ .

$276 - 276$

Step 1.2.2

Subtract $276$ from $276$ .

$0$

Step 2

There is no inverse because the determinant is $0$ .
