Question
Find x, y satisfying the matrix equation.
$\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}&\text{y}+2&\text{z}-3\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}\text{y}&4&5\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}4&9&12\end{bmatrix}$

Answer

Given: $\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}&\text{y}+2&\text{z}-3\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}\text{y}&4&5\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}4&9&12\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}+\text{y}&\text{y}+2+4&\text{z}-3+5\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}4&9&12\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}+\text{y}&\text{y}+6&\text{z}+2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}4&9&12\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\ \text{x}+\text{y}=4\ \dots(1)$
Also,
$\text{y}+6=9$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=3$
$\text{z}+2=12$
$\Rightarrow\text{z}=10$
Putting the value of y in eq. (1), we get
$\text{x}+3=4$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=4-3$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=1$
$\therefore\ \text{x}=1,\text{ y}=3$ and $\text{z}=10$
