How do you solve #2x+A=B# given #A=((2, -8), (9, 5), (-2, 3))# and #B=((-6,2), (1, -5), (8, 5))#? Precalculus Matrix Row Operations Solving a System of Equations Using a Matrix 1 Answer Steve M Nov 3, 2016 # x = ((-4,5), (-4, -5), (6, 1)) # Explanation: # 2x+A=B => 2x + ((2, -8), (9, 5), (-2, 3)) = ((-6,2), (1, -5), (8, 5)) # # :. 2x = ((-6,2), (1, -5), (8, 5)) - ((2, -8), (9, 5), (-2, 3)) # # :. 2x = ((-6-2,2-(-8)), (1-9, -5-5), (8-(-2), 5-3)) # # :. 2x = ((-8,10), (-8, -10), (12, 2)) # # :. x = 1/2((-8,10), (-8, -10), (12, 2)) # # :. x = ((-4,5), (-4, -5), (6, 1)) # Answer link Related questions How do I use matrices to solve the system #2x+3y=4# and #5x+8y=11#?
