Question
If $\begin{bmatrix}2\text{x+y}&3\text{y}\\0&4 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}6&0\\6&4\end{bmatrix}$, then find x.

Answer
Given,
$\begin{bmatrix}2\text{x+y}&3\text{y}\\0&4 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}6&0\\6&4\end{bmatrix}$
Since, corresponding entries of equal matrices are equal, so
3y = 0
⇒ y = 0
And 2x + y = 6
⇒ 2x + 0 = 6
⇒ 2x = 6
⇒ x = 3
So,
x = 3, y = 0
