Find the value of x+y from the following equation: 2(130x) + (y012) = (5618)
Solution:
Consider, 2(130x) + (y012) = (5618) (260x) + (y012) = (5618) Equating the matrices we get the values of x and y as follows: 2 + y = 5 ⇒ y = 3 2x + 2 = 8 ⇒ 2x = 6 ⇒ x = 3 Therefore, x + y = 3 + 3 = 6 Hence x + y = 6.
