Recall that matrix-vector multiplication of the form A‾x⃗=b⃗\A \vx = \vbA​x=b can be thought of as taking the dot product of the rows of the matrix A‾\AA​ with the column vector x⃗\vxx. If A⃗1j\vec{A}_{1j}A1j​ represents the first row of the matrix A‾\AA​, write the following matrix-vector multiplication as a system of vector-vector products:
