First, probably you ought to put the resulting matrix T in the form {{a,
b}, {c, d}}, since that would seem to be consistent with the matrix of
coefficients of the two linear equations. What you have is, of course,
the transpose of that.
You could do it like this:
m = {{a, b}, {c, d}};
m /. First @ Solve[m . {v1, v2} == {u1, u2}, Flatten[m]]
{{u1/v1 - (b*v2)/v1, b}, {u2/v1 - (d*v2)/v1, d}}
I show the InputForm of the actual StandardForm result displayed by
Mathematica.
(You still obtain a warning message "Equations may not give solutions
for all 'solve' variables.")
