| @ReiAyanami580: Start with basics...
(matrix A) * (vector X) = (vector X)
only when (matrix A) is the identity matrix.
So (matrix A) * (vector X) = k * (vector X)
can only be true when (matrix A) is
k * (identity matrix)
Hence
a, d = k; b, c = 0
The subsitute these values into your equiation and
k^2 - (a+d)k + (ad-bc)=0
becomes
k^2 - 2k^2 + k^2 = 0; 2k^2 - 2k^2 = 0; 0 = 0
And this satifies your other equation:
(matrix A) * (matrix B) = (matrix B) * (matrix C)
because both (matrix A) and (matrix C) are equal to k * (identity matrix)
