Decoding Messages We have encoded messages by assigning the numbers 1 to 26 to the letters a to z of the alphabet, respectively, and assigning 27 to a blank space. We can decode messages of this type by finding the inverse of the encoding matrix and multiplying it times the coded message. Use A−1 and the conversion table below to decode the messages in Exercises 39–44.
