Solution

Given, 3[xyxw]=[x612w]+[4x+yx+w3]
[3x3y3z3w]=[x+46+x+y1+z+w2w+3]

By definition of equality of matrix as the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get
3x=x+42x=4x=2
and 3y=6+x+y2y=6+xy=6+x2
Putting the value of x, we get
y=6+22=82=4
Now, 2z=-1 +z+w, z=-1 +w
z=1+w2.......(i)
Now, 3w=2w+3w=3
Putting the value of w in Eq. (i), we get
z=1+32=22=1
Hence, the values of x,y, z and w are 2,4,1 and 3.
