Find the value of x, y and z from the following equations:
(iii)⎡⎢⎣x+y+zx+zy+z⎤⎥⎦=⎡⎢⎣957⎤⎥⎦
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=7⇒z=7−4=3
Hence, x=2, y=4, z=3
