More Problems on Linear Systems and Matrices

Problem. Let $A$ and $I_2$ be the matrices

$$A = \left(\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array} \r... ...eft(\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array} \right)\;.$$

Show that if $ad -bc \neq 0$ then $A$ and $I_2$ are row equivalent.
Recall that two matrices are row equivalent iff one may be obtained from the other one via row elementary operations.
