Question

Given `[(2, 1),(-3, 4)] x = [(7),(6)]` Write the matrix x.

Sum

Solution

Let `x = [(x),(y)]`

∴ `[(2, 1),(-3, 4)] xx [(x),(y)] = [(7),(6)]`

⇒ `[(2x + y),(-3x + 4y)] = [(7),(6)]`

⇒ 2x + y = 7 ...(1)

-3x + 4y = 6  ...(2)

Multiplying by 4 in equation (1) and solving with equation (2)

 8x + 4y = 28
-3x + 4y = 6
(+)    (-)   (-)
11x = 22

x = 2

Putting the value of x in equation (1), we get

∴ 2 × 2 + y = 7

y = 7 - 4 = 3

∴ The matrix x = `[(x), (y)] = [(2),(3)]`
