Question
Find the non-zero values of $x$ satisfying the matrix equation
$
x\left[\begin{array}{cc}
2 x & 2 \\
3 & x
\end{array}\right]+2\left[\begin{array}{cc}
8 & 5 x \\
4 & 4 x
\end{array}\right]=2\left[\begin{array}{cc}
x^2+8 & 24 \\
10 & 6 x
\end{array}\right]
$

Answer

$
\begin{aligned}
& x\left[\begin{array}{cc}
2 x & 2 \\
3 & x
\end{array}\right]+2\left[\begin{array}{ll}
8 & 5 x \\
4 & 4 x
\end{array}\right]=2\left[\begin{array}{cc}
x^2+8 & 24 \\
10 & 6 x
\end{array}\right] \\
& {\left[\begin{array}{cc}
2 x^2 & 2 x \\
3 x & x^2
\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}
16 & 10 x \\
8 & 8 x
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
2 x^2+16 & 48 \\
20 & 12 x
\end{array}\right]} \\
& {\left[\begin{array}{cc}
2 x^2+16 & 12 x \\
3 x+8 & x^2+8 x
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
2 x^2+16 & 48 \\
20 & 12 x
\end{array}\right]} \\
& 12 x=48 \\
& x=\frac{48}{12} \\
& =4
\end{aligned}
