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 , we need to isolate 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:
-
Top row:
-
Bottom row:
Thus, the matrix is:
