How can Bob decrypt the message?

Since Alice specified that she was going to use 3-by-3 secret matrix and we have a decrypted matrix and its pre-decrypted matrix, we can solve for secret matirx by multiplying encrypted matrix by inverse of decrypted matrix

 format rat
A=[1 0 4;0 1 0;1 0 1];
B=[2 0 0;0 1 0;0 0 3];
secret= B*inv(A)
% secret =
