Math Problem Statement
Find x₁ and x₂ in the matrix equation: [[-2, 1], [-3, 4]] * [x₁, x₂] + [15, 5] = [30, 30].
Solution
We are given a system of linear equations from a matrix equation. The problem is presented as follows:
Step 1: Simplify the equation
We start by isolating the matrix multiplication part:
This simplifies to:
Step 2: Expand the matrix multiplication
Now, perform the matrix multiplication on the left-hand side:
-2x_1 + x_2 &= 15 \\ -3x_1 + 4x_2 &= 25 \end{aligned}$$ ### Step 3: Solve the system of equations We can solve thisAsk a new question for Free
