(ii) $2X + 3Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ and $3X + 2Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-2 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$

$2X + 3Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}..........................1$

$3X + 2Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-2 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}......................2$

Multiply equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2 and subtract them,

$3(2X + 3Y)-2(3X+2Y) = 3 \times \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$     $- \, \, \, 2\times \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-2 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$

$6X + 9Y-6X-4Y= \begin{bmatrix} 6 &9 \\ 12 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ $- \begin{bmatrix} 4 &-4 \\ -2 & 10 \end{bmatrix}$

$9Y-4Y= \begin{bmatrix} 6-4 &9-(-4) \\ 12-(-2) & 0-10 \end{bmatrix}$

$5Y= \begin{bmatrix} 2 &13 \\ 14 & -10 \end{bmatrix}$

$Y= \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{5} &\frac{13}{5} \\ \frac{14}{5} & -2 \end{bmatrix}$

Putting value of Y in equation 1 , we get

$2X + 3Y = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

$2X + 3 \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{5} &\frac{13}{5} \\ \frac{14}{5} & -2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

$2X + \begin{bmatrix} \frac{6}{5} &\frac{39}{5} \\ \frac{42}{5} & -6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

$2X = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} \frac{6}{5} &\frac{39}{5} \\ \frac{42}{5} & -6 \end{bmatrix}$

$2X = \begin{bmatrix} 2-\frac{6}{5} &3-\frac{39}{5} \\ 4-\frac{42}{5} & 0 -(-6)\end{bmatrix}$

$2X = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{4}{5} &-\frac{24}{5} \\ -\frac{22}{5} & 6\end{bmatrix}$

$X = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{2}{5} &-\frac{12}{5} \\ -\frac{11}{5} & 3\end{bmatrix}$
