Matrices & Determinants · Inverse of a matrix

Let AA, BB and CC be three 2×22\times2 matrices with real entries such that B=(I+A)−1B = (I + A)^{-1} and A+C=IA + C = I. If BC=[1−5−12]andCB[x1x2]=[12−6],BC = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -5\\ -1 & 2\end{bmatrix} \quad\text{and}\quad CB\begin{bmatrix} x_1\\ x_2\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 12\\ -6\end{bmatrix}, then x1+x2x_1 + x_2 is
  1. (1)2
  2. (2)0
  3. (3)−2-2
  4. (4)4
