Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!! What is the value of x in the matrix equation below?

Answer 1

Its 2 or C on edge

Explanation:

Answer 2

The given matrix equation is,

`1.5\left[\begin{array}{cc}x&6\\8&4\end{array}\right] +y\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&4\\3&2\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right]`.

Multiplying the matrices with the scalars, the given equation becomes,

`image`

Adding the matrices,

`\left[\begin{array}{cc}1.5x+y&9+4y\\12+3y&6+2y\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{cc}z&z\\6z&2\end{array}\right] \\`

Matrix equality gives,

`image`

Solving the equations together,

`image`

We can see that the equations are not consistent.

There is no solution.
