Math Problem Statement

Given the matrices A = [[2, 3], [-3, 5]], B = [[-2, 3], [7, -18]], and C = [[6, 9], [-1, -11]], solve for M in the equation A + 2M = 2B + C.

Solution

The matrix MM is:

M=[06826]M = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 6 \\ 8 & -26 \end{bmatrix}

Would you like a detailed explanation on how this was derived, or do you have any questions?

Here are some related questions:

  1. What would change if the equation were A+M=2B+CA + M = 2B + C?
  2. How do you solve matrix equations in general?
  3. What happens if you replace CC with a zero matrix in this equation?
  4. Can you explain how matrix multiplication affects the dimensionality of the result?
  5. How would you solve a system of linear equations using matrices?

Tip: When solving matrix equations, always ensure that the matrices involved are conformable for operations like addition, subtraction, or multiplication.
