Prove: if A is a square matrix and AB=AC implies B=C, then A is invertible.
First year linear algebra, haven't gotten to determinants yet so the proof can't use determinants or anything beyond.
Edit: Solved, thanks.
Answer
Consider the equation: AX=0. We show X=0. Write: AX=A⋅0→X=0. Thus A is invertible.
