Question
If $\begin{bmatrix}\text{a }-\text{b}&2\text{a}+\text{c}\\2\text{a}-\text{b}&3\text{c}+\text{d} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-1&5\\0&13 \end{bmatrix},$ fine the value of b.

Answer

$\begin{bmatrix}\text{a }-\text{b}&2\text{a}+\text{c}\\2\text{a}-\text{b}&3\text{c}+\text{d} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-1&5\\0&13 \end{bmatrix}$
From the above matrices,
a - b = -1 ...(1)
2a - b = 0 ...(2)
Solving (1) and (2),
a = 1, b = 2
$\therefore$ b = 2
