Math Problem Statement

Solve for the matrix X in the equation AX + B = C, where A, B, and C are given matrices.

Solution

The given equation is:

AX+B=CAX + B = C where:

A=(305013121),B=(130121),C=(032145).A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 0 & 5 \\ 0 & 1 & 3 \\ -1 & 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & -1 \end{pmatrix}, \quad C = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 3 \\ 2 & -1 \\ 4 & 5 \end{pmatrix}.

We are tasked with solving for XX, where XX is a matrix.

Steps to solve:

  1. Start with the equation: AX+B=CAX + B = C

  2. Subtract BB from both sides: AX=CBAX = C - B

  3. Compute CBC - B, then solve for XX by multiplying both sides by A1A^{-1} (the inverse of matrix AA).

Let me calculate the intermediate steps for you.The solution for the matrix XX is:

X=(1.550.170.73)X = \begin{pmatrix} -1.5 & 5 \\ -0.1 & 7 \\ 0.7 & -3 \end{pmatrix}

This matrix satisfies the equation AX+B=CAX + B = C.
