Avg difficulty 3.0

For each of the following matrices, find the inverse if possible. If the inverse does not exist, explain why.

A=[21−13],B=[0153],C=[2130],D=[2142],E=[012125].A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}2&1\\ -1&3\end{array}\right],\quad B=\left[\begin{array}{rr}0&1\\ 5&3\end{array}\right],\quad C=\left[\begin{array}{rr}2&1\\ 3&0\end{array}\right],\quad D=\left[\begin{array}{rr}2&1\\ 4&2\end{array}\right],\quad E=\left[\begin{array}{rrr}0&1&2\\ 1&2&5\\ \end{array}\right].
