Open in App
Solution

The given matrix equation is,

x[ 2 3 ]+y[ 1 1 ]=[ 10 5 ]

Solve the given matrix equation for x and y,

x[ 2 3 ]+y[ 1 1 ]=[ 10 5 ] [ 2x 3y ]+[ y y ]=[ 10 5 ] [ 2xy 3x+y ]=[ 10 5 ]

Compare both sides of above equation,

2xy=10(1)

And,

3x+y=5(2)

Add equation (1) and equation (2).

5x=15 x=3

Substitute the value of x in equation (2),

y=53x y=53( 3 ) y=59 y=4

Therefore, the value of x is 3 and the value of y is 4.
