Answer:

The value of x = 5 and y = 2

The correct answer is last option

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see that, subtraction of two matrices.

The resultant matrix shows the corresponding terms difference.

To find the value of x

1/2(x + 3) - (3*(-1)) = 7

x/2 + 3/2 +3 = 7

x/2 +3/2 = 7 - 3 = 4

x + 3 = 8

x = 8 - 3 = 5

x = 5

To find the value of y

8/2 -3 (y +1) = -5

4 - 3(y +1)/ = -5

3(y +1) = 4 + 5 = 9

y + 1 = 9 / 3 = 3

y = 3 - 1 = 2

Therefore the value of x = 5 and y = 2

The correct answer is last option
