Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}9&1\\7&8\end{bmatrix},\text{ B}=\begin{bmatrix}1&5\\7&12\end{bmatrix},$ find matrix C such that 5A + 3B + 2C is a null matrix.
✓

Answer

Given, $5\text{A}+3\text{B}+2\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow5\begin{bmatrix}9&1\\7&8\end{bmatrix}+3\begin{bmatrix}1&5\\7&12\end{bmatrix}+2\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}45&5\\35&40\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}3&15\\21&36\end{bmatrix}+2\text{C}\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}45+3&5+15\\35+21&40+36\end{bmatrix}+2\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}48&20\\56&76\end{bmatrix}+2\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}48&20\\56&76\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{C}=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}-48&-20\\-56&-76\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{C}=​​\begin{bmatrix}-24&-10\\-28&-38\end{bmatrix}$
