The matrix A is not invertible. If you calculate the reduced row echelon of this matrix, you will see that it only have two linearly independent rows
>> A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9; 10 11 12];
>> rref(A)
ans =
1 0 -1
0 1 2
0 0 0
0 0 0
MATLAB error indicates that because of this issue, the result of inversion will be incorrect.
