Find the value of x, if  \(\begin{bmatrix}3x\,+\,y & -y \\[0.3em]2y\,-\,x & 3 \\[0.3em]\end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2 \\[0.3em]-5 & 3 \\[0.3em]\end{bmatrix}\)

Answer»

Given,

\(\begin{bmatrix} 3x\,+\,y & -y \\[0.3em] 2y\,-\,x & 3 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} \)\(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\[0.3em] -5 & 3 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} \)

Equating the corresponding elements, we get

⇒ 3x + y = 1, -y = 2, 2y - x = -5

⇒ y = -2

Putting it in 3x + y = 1 or 2y - x = - 5

we get 3x - 2 = 1 or - 4 - x = - 5

⇒ x = 1 or - x = - 1

⇒ x = 1

Hence, x = 1 and y = - 2
