Let A=(2111)A=\begin{pmatrix}2&1\\1&1\end{pmatrix} and B=(1101)B=\begin{pmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{pmatrix}, invertible integer matrices with A−1=(1−1−12)A^{-1}=\begin{pmatrix}1&-1\\-1&2\end{pmatrix} and B−1=(1−101)B^{-1}=\begin{pmatrix}1&-1\\0&1\end{pmatrix}. If XX satisfies AXB=IAXB=I, find the (1,1)(1,1) entry of XX.
