Question
If $\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}+\text{y}\\\text{x}-\text{y} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}2&1\\4&3 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1\\-2\end{bmatrix},$ then write the value of (x, y).

Answer

After doing the matrix multiplication we get,
$\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}+\text{y}\\\text{x}-\text{y} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\-2\end{bmatrix}$
As corresponding entries of two equal matrices are equal so,
x + y = 0,
x - y = -2
Solving simultanecus linear equation gives the value of x = -1 and y = 1
or (x, y) = (-1, 1).
