Use the elementary transformation we can find the inverse as follows

$A=\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&3 \end{bmatrix}$

$A=IA$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&3 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}A$

$R_2\rightarrow R_2-2R_1$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\0&5 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-2&1 \end{bmatrix}A$

$R_2\rightarrow \frac{R_2}{5}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\\frac{-2}{5}&\frac{1}{5} \end{bmatrix}A$

$R_1\rightarrow R_1+R_2$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}\frac{3}{5}&\frac{1}{5}\\\frac{-2}{5}&\frac{1}{5} \end{bmatrix}A$

$\therefore A^{-1}= \begin{bmatrix}\frac{3}{5}&\frac{1}{5}\\\frac{-2}{5}&\frac{1}{5} \end{bmatrix}$
