= Solution

The <cofactor matrix> is $\begin{pmatrix}-3&-1&-1\\5&-1&3\\-1&1&1\end{pmatrix}$. Transpose it to form the <adjugate matrix>, and divide by the determinant $-4$:
$$
\boxed{A^{-1}=\frac14\begin{pmatrix}3&-5&1\\1&1&-1\\1&-3&-1\end{pmatrix}.}
$$
Direct matrix multiplication gives $AA^{-1}=I$, checking all entries.
