Math Problem Statement
Diketahui matriks A dan B. Jika A = B, maka a + b + c = ...
Solution
In the image, we are given two matrices, and , and the condition . We need to find the sum of .
The matrices are:
4a & 8 & 4 \\ 6 & -1 & -3b \\ 5 & 3c & 9 \end{pmatrix} \quad \text{and} \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} 12 & 8 & 4 \\ 6 & -1 & -3a \\ 5 & b & 9 \end{pmatrix}$$ Since $$A = B$$, we can equate corresponding elements from matrices $$A$$ and $$B$$. 1. From the first element of the first row: $$4a = 12$$, solving for $$a$$: $$a = \frac{12}{4} = 3$$ 2. From the third element of the second row: $$-3b = -3a$$, since we found $$a = 3$$: $$-3b = -9 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b = 3$$ 3. From the second element of the third row: $$3c = b$$, and since $$b = 3$$: $$3c = 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad c = 1$$ Now, we can calculate $$a + b + c$$: $$a + b + c = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7$$ Thus, the value of $$a + b + c$$ is $$\boxed{7}$$.
