Suppose A is a square matrix and v is an eigenvector of A with associated eigenvalue 23. If x is a real number, compute A(xv) in terms of x and v.
A(xv) = (?)
Not sure where to go with this question, is there a rule or condition that I am missing?
So far I thought it would be something using the following;
det(A - xI) = 0 and Ax = vx and solving for A but any simplification using these ideas have been wrong so far. Any suggestions?

It is only a matter of really understanding the basic definitions to conclude that $$A(xv)=xAv=xcdot23 v=23xv$$

I mistakenly thought x=23. Thank you!
