Find non-zero values of x satisfying the matrix equation:
A matrix, as we know, is a rectangular array which includes numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns.
Also,
Addition or subtraction of any two matrices is possible only if they have the same order.
If a given matrix has m rows and n columns, then the order of the matrix is m x n.
We have matrix equation,
Take matrix
Multiply it with 2 ,
Take matrix
Multiply it with 2,
By adding equation (i) and (ii) and make it equal to equation (iii), we get
By adding left side of the matrix equation as they have same order, we get
We need to find the value of x by comparing the elements in the two matrices.
If,
Then,
So,
We have got equations (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) to solve for x.
So, take equation (i).
We cannot find the value of x from this equation as they are similar.
Now, take equation (ii).
2x + 10x = 48
From equation (iii),
From equation (iv),
So, by solving equations (ii), (iii) and (iv), we can conclude that
x = 4
Hence, the value of x is 4.
