Math Problem Statement

Solve for [X].

[\left[\begin{array}{rr}5 & 5 & -7 \ 2 & 3 & -6 \end{array}\right]+X=\left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & 1 & 5 \ 4 & -2 & 9\end{array}\right] ] [X=]

Solution

To solve for XX, we need to isolate XX by subtracting the matrix on the left side from the matrix on the right side.

Given: [ \left[\begin{array}{rr}5 & 5 & -7 \ 2 & 3 & -6 \end{array}\right] + X = \left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & 1 & 5 \ 4 & -2 & 9\end{array}\right] ]

We can rearrange it to: [ X = \left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & 1 & 5 \ 4 & -2 & 9\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{rr}5 & 5 & -7 \ 2 & 3 & -6 \end{array}\right] ]

Now, subtract each corresponding element:

  1. Top row: X11=15=4,X12=15=4,X13=5(7)=5+7=12X_{11} = 1 - 5 = -4, \quad X_{12} = 1 - 5 = -4, \quad X_{13} = 5 - (-7) = 5 + 7 = 12

  2. Bottom row: X21=42=2,X22=23=5,X23=9(6)=9+6=15X_{21} = 4 - 2 = 2, \quad X_{22} = -2 - 3 = -5, \quad X_{23} = 9 - (-6) = 9 + 6 = 15

Thus, the matrix XX is: X=[44122515]X = \left[\begin{array}{rr} -4 & -4 & 12 \\ 2 & -5 & 15 \end{array}\right]
