Given , find the values of x, y, z and w.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

On comparing the corresponding elements of these two matrices, we get,

3x = x + 4

⇒ 2x + 4

⇒ x =2

3y = 6 + x + y

⇒ 2y = 6 + x = 6 + 2 = 8

⇒ y = 4

3w = 2w + 3

⇒ w = 3

3z = -1 + z + w

⇒ 2z = -1 + w = -1 +3 = 2

⇒ z = 1

Therefore, x = 2, y = 4, z = 1 and w = 3.
