Answer:

-6

Explanation:

You seem to want the value of q₃ in the matrix Q⁻¹.

Matrix inverse

The inverse matrix, Q⁻¹, is the transpose of the cofactor matrix, divided by the determinant. That makes q₃ = -q₂₁/det(Q):

q₃ = -(-2/3)/((-1(-1/9) -(-2/3)(-1/3))

q₃ = (2/3)/(1/9 -2/9) = (6/9)/(-1/9)

q₃ = -6

Additional comment

The transpose of the cofactor matrix of a 2×2 matrix is the original with the diagonal terms swapped, and the off-diagonal terms negated. Basically, the only math involved in computing the inverse is finding the determinant, and dividing by it.
