    How does a matrix times a vector yield a vector?

    The title pretty much sums up my quandary. I'm confused as to how a vector "x" with the same number of elements as columns in matrix "A" could yield a vector "b" when multiplied together. I mean, what's stopping "b" from being a matrix instead?
