Solve for x and y, when


Given :


To find : x and y


Formula used :



Where cij = ai1b1j + ai2b2j + ai3b3j + ……………… + ainbnj


If A is a matrix of order a b and B is a matrix of order c d ,then matrix AB exists and is of order a d ,if and only if b = c


The resulting matrix obtained on multiplying and is of order 2 × 1


× = =


=


Equating similar terms,


3x – 4y = 3 equation 1


x + 2y = 11 equation 2


equation 1 + 2(equation 2) and solving the above equations,



5x = 25


x = = 5


x = 5 , substituting x = 2 in equation 2,


5 + 2y = 11


2y =11 – 5 = 6


2y = 6


y = = 3


x = 5 and y = 3
