Solution
Let A = `[(1,2,3),(0,2,4),(0,0,5)]`
|A| = `|(1,2,3),(0,2,4),(0,0,5)|`
`= 1|(2,4),(0,5)| - 2|(0,4),(0,5)| + 3|(0,2),(0,0)|`
= 1[10 - 0] - 2[0 - 0] + 3[0 - 0]
= 10 - 0 + 0
= 10
[Aij] = `[(10,0,0),(-|(2,3),(0,5)|,|(1,3),(0,5)|,-|(1,2),(0,0)|),(|(2,3),(2,4)|,-|(1,3),(0,4)|,|(1,2),(0,2)|)]`
`= [(10,0,0),(-(10 - 0),(5-0),0),(8-6,-(4-0),2)]`
`= [(10,0,0),(-10,5,0),(2,-4,2)]`
adj A = [Aij]T = `[(10,-10,2),(0,5,-4),(0,0,2)]`
`"A"^-1 = 1/|"A"|`adj A
`= 1/10[(10,-10,2),(0,5,-4),(0,0,2)]`
