We assume $n \geq 3$. Let $F$ be a vector subspace of $E_{n}$ of dimension $n-2$. We consider $(N_1, N_2)$ a basis of $F^{\perp}$ and we set $N = \left(\begin{array}{ll} N_{1} & N_{2} \end{array}\right) \in \mathcal{M}_{n,2}(\mathbb{R})$. $A$ is an invertible matrix in $\mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R})$.
Show that there exists a matrix $B = \left(\begin{array}{ll} B_{1} & B_{2} \\ B_{3} & B_{4} \end{array}\right)$ with $B_{1} \in \mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R}), B_{2} \in \mathcal{M}_{n,2}(\mathbb{R}), B_{3} \in \mathcal{M}_{2,n}(\mathbb{R})$ and $B_{4} \in \mathcal{M}_{2}(\mathbb{R})$ such that $$A_{N} B = \left(\begin{array}{cc} I_{n} & 0 \\ N^{\top} A^{-1} & -N^{\top} A^{-1} N \end{array}\right)$$
