For what values of x and y are the following matrices equal`A=[(2x+1,3y),(0,y^2-5y)] B= [(x+3,y^2+2),(0,-6)] `

Answer» With the given matrices we have,
`2x+1 = x+3 => x = 2`
`3y = y^2+2 =>y^2-3y+2 = 0`
`=>y^2-2y-y+2 = 0`
`=>y(y-2)-1(y-2) = 0`
`=> (y- 2)(y-1) = 0`
`=>y = 2 and y = 1`
`y^2-5y = -6`
`=>y^2-5y+6 = 0`
`=>y2-3y-2y+6 = 0`
`=>(y-3)(y-2) = 0`
`=>y=3 and y = 2`
So, `y=2` is the common solution that satisfies both equation.
`:. y = 2`
So, `x = 2, y =2`
