First get your extents right. For the matrix product x*b to make
sense, you need x to be n*2 if b is 2*2, and the result is n*2, so how
can a be 2*1??
Next, notice that solve(A,b) solves A*x = b, where A is a square
matrix, so you need solve(b,a) or maybe solve(b, t(a)) or
t(solve(b,t(a)) depending on what your problem really was.
