Question
Solve for a, b and c if $\left[\begin{array}{cc}-4 & a+5 \\ 3 & 2\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}b+4 & 2 \\ 3 & c-1\end{array}\right]$

Answer

If two matrices are equal, then their corresponding elements are also equal.

a + 5 = 2 ⇒ a = -3

-4 = b + 4 ⇒ b = -8

2 = c – 1 ⇒ c = 3
