Math Problem Statement
Solution
We have the following matrix equation based on the image you provided:
We will first simplify the left-hand side and then solve the matrix multiplication on the right-hand side to compare and find the values of , , , and .
Left-hand side simplification:
First, multiply the matrix by 2:
Now, add the matrix :
This results in:
Right-hand side simplification:
Now, we compute the matrix product on the right-hand side:
Performing matrix multiplication:
This gives:
Equating both sides:
We now compare the left-hand and right-hand sides:
From this, we have the following system of equations:
Solving the system:
-
From , we solve for :
-
From , we solve for :
-
From , we solve for :
-
Substituting into the equation : So,
Sum of :
