linear algebra - Show that two matrices A and B are row equivalent iff there exists an invertible matrix C so that A=CB



Show that two matrices A,BMatm,n(F) are row equivalent iff there exists an invertible matrix CMatn(F), so that A=CB.




Is the solution that C is row equivalent with the identity matrix since C is invertible? I'm still trying to grasp the basics :-)


Answer



Any invertible matrix can be written as a composition of elementary matrices (each of which represents an elementary row operation). Now, apply the definition of row equivalence. This proves the statement.
