Solution

To solve the equation shown in the image, we equate corresponding elements from both matrices because the two matrices are equal. Let’s solve step by step:

The matrix equation is:

a + b & 2 - a \\ 9 & 5 - c \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} b + a & 2a + 8 \\ 9 & -c + 5 \end{bmatrix}.$$ ### Step 1: Equate corresponding elements #### Top-left: $$a + b = b + a$$ This is true for any $$a$$ and $$b$$, so it doesn’t give us any new information. #### Top-right: $$2 - a = 2a + 8$$ Solve for $$a$$: $$2 - a = 2a + 8 \\ 2 = 2a + a + 8 \\ 2 = 3a + 8 \\ 3a = -6 \\ a = -2.$$ ### Step 2: Verify remaining equations #### Bottom-left: $$9 = 9$$ This is already satisfied. #### Bottom-right: $$5 - c = -c + 5$$ Simplify: $$5 - c = -c + 5 \\ 5 = 5 \quad \text{(true for any $$c$$)}.$$ ### Final Answer: $$a = -2.$$ Let me know if you'd like more explanation! ### Related Questions: 1. What are the values of $$b$$ and $$c$$ in this system? 2. How can matrices be equal in general terms? 3. What happens if one element in two matrices doesn’t match? 4. Can we solve for other variables ($$b, c$$) based on the given system? 5. What are the practical applications of solving such matrix equations? ### Tip: When working with equal matrices, always equate corresponding entries to set up equations!
