$[\begin{array}{c} 8 & 6 \\ - 8 & 1 \end{array}] = [\begin{array}{c} 8 & y \\ x & 1 \end{array}]$

Step 1

Write as a linear system of equations.

$8 = 8$

$6 = y$

$- 8 = x$

$1 = 1$

Step 2

Since $1 = 1$ is always true, the matrix equation has infinite solutions.

Infinite solutions satisfying the system.
