Question
If $\begin{bmatrix}\text{xy}&4\\\text{z}+6&\text{x}+\text{y} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}8&\text{w}\\0&6 \end{bmatrix},$ write the value of (x + y + z).

Answer

$\begin{bmatrix}\text{xy}&4\\\text{z}+6&\text{x}+\text{y} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}8&\text{w}\\0&6 \end{bmatrix}$
Corresponding elements of equal matrices are equal.
$\therefore$ z + 6 = 0 and x + y = 6
⇒ z = -6 and x + y = 6
Therefore, x + y + z = 6 - 6 = 0.
