    Step by step approach is as shown

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consider the system Ax = 5z ... (1) Recalling that z = Ay Substitute (Ay) for z in equation (1) therefore, Ax = 5 (Ay) ... (2) Hence the equation can also be written as Ax = A (5y) ... (3)

    recalling from commutative law that A + B = B + A and since A is a scalar, and from scalar multiplication of matrix.

    From equation (3); Ax = A (5y), it implies that x = 5y from comparison and as such if we compare with equation (2) where z = Ay therefore equation (2) can then be written as Ax = 5z, since there is consistency as such the the equation will also have a solution.
