2\begin{bmatrix}x & z \\ y &t \end{bmatrix} + 3\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1\\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = 3\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5\\ 4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

Multiplying with constant terms and rearranging we can rewrite the matrix as

\begin{bmatrix}2x &2 z \\ 2y &2t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 9 &15\\ 12 & 18 \end{bmatrix} - 3\begin{bmatrix} 1& -1\\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix}2x &2 z \\ 2y &2t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 9 &15\\ 12 & 18 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 3& -3\\ 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix}2x &2 z \\ 2y &2t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 9-3 &15-(-3)\\ 12-0 & 18-6 \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix}2x &2 z \\ 2y &2t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 &18\\ 12 & 12 \end{bmatrix}

Dividing by 2 on both sides

\begin{bmatrix}x & z \\ y &t \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &9\\ 6 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

x=3,y=6,z=9\, \, and\, \, t=6
