all invariant subspaces
$begingroup$
Let $A$ be a linear operator such that $A begin{bmatrix}x\y\z end{bmatrix}=begin {bmatrix}x+y\y-x\0 end{bmatrix}$. Find all invariant subspaces of $A$.
I know how to find subspaces of dimensions $0$, $1$ and $3$, but how can I find all subspaces of dimension $2$ (I know that $mathrm{Im}A$ is a subspace and $mathrm{dim}; mathrm{Im} A=2$ )

Hint: a two-dimensional subspace must intersect any other two-dimensional subspace nontrivially. Apply this to $A$ and the space generated by two basis vectors.

A two-dimensional subspace is the null space of a nonzero linear functional. The subspace is invariant if and only if the linear functional is an eigenvector of $A^*$.
