Given that the A 11 and A 22 R 3 x 3 are invertible, A 21 R 3 x 3 , and b 1 , b 2 , x 1 , x 2 R 3 , then solve for x 1 and x 2 from
[ A 11 0 A 21 A 22 ] [ x 1 x 2 ] = [ b 1 b 2 ]
What are x 1 and x 2 in terms of A 11 , A 21 , A 22 , b 1 , b 2 ?

Split it up into two equations
A 11 x 1 = b 1 A 21 x 1 + A 22 x 2 = b 2
Solve for x 1 and in the first equation and use it in the second
x 1 = A 11 1 b 1 A 22 x 2 = b 2 A 21 A 11 1 b 1
Solve for x 2
x 2 = A 22 1 ( b 2 A 21 A 11 1 b 1 )
Re-combine the solution
[ x 1 x 2 ] = [ A 11 1 0 A 22 1 A 21 A 11 1 A 22 1 ] [ b 1 b 2 ]
