MCQ
If $\left[\begin{array}{cc}x & 2 \\ 18 & x\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}6 & 2 \\ 18 & 6\end{array}\right]$ then $x$ is equal to :
  • A
    6
  • $\pm 6$
  • C
    -6
  • D
    $0$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\pm 6$
(B)$\pm 6$
$x^2-36=36-36 \Rightarrow x^2-36=0$
or $x^2=36 \Rightarrow x=\sqrt{36}= \pm 6$
