Question

Find the value of x, y and z from the following equations:
(i)[43x6]

(ii)[x+225+zxy]=[6258]

(iii)x+y+zx+zy+z=957

Solution

Given, [43x5]=[yz15], By definition of equality of matrix as the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get 4=y,3 =z and x=1x=1, y=4 and z=3

Given, [x+y25+zxy]=[6258]. By definition of equality of matrix as the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get
x+y=6 .....(i)
5+z=5 .....(ii)
and xy=8 ....(iii)
From Eq. (ii), we get z=0,
From Eq. (i), y =6-x ....(iv)
Substituting the value of y in Eq. (iii), we obtain
x(6x)=8x26x+8=0(x2)(x4)=0x=2 or x=4
When x=2, then from Eq.(iv), y=6-2=4 and when x=4, then from Eq.(iv), y =6-4=2.
So, either x=2, y=4 and z=0
or x=4, y=2 and z=0

Given,x+y+zx+zy+z=957. By definition of equality of matrix as the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get
x+y+z=9 ....(i)
x+z=5 ....(ii)
y+z=7 ....(iii)
Subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get y =4
Subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (i), we get x=2
Subtracting y=4 in Eq. (iii), we get
4+z=7z=74=3
Hence, x=2, y=4, z=3
