Application of Linearity

1. How can Bob decrypt the message

Since the system is linear bob can decrypt the message by finding the inverse of the secret matrix and multiplying the message 3 letters at a time by it to find the secret message

2. Can eve decrypt the message without finding the inverse of the secret matrix

no but she can figure out the secret matrix given the information she has.

3.Decrypt the message (2,23,3)
