Question
Solve the following system of equations by matrix method:
3x + y = 19
3x - y = 23

Answer

The given system of equations can be written in matrix form as follows:
$\begin{bmatrix}3&1\\ 3&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\ \text{y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}19\\ 23\end{bmatrix}$
AX = B 
Here,
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}3&1\\ 3&-1\end{bmatrix},\text{x}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\ \text{y}\end{bmatrix}\text{ and }\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}19\\ 23\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\text{|A|}=\begin{vmatrix}3&1\\ 3&-1\end{vmatrix}$
$= - 3 - 3$
$=-6\neq0$
So, the given system has a unique solution given by X = A-1B.
Let Cij be the co-factors of the elements aij in A = [aij]. Then,
$\text{C}_{11}=(-1)^{1+1}(-1)=-1,\text{C}_{12}=(-1)^{1+2}(3)=-3$
$\text{C}_{21}=(-1)^{2+1}(1)=-1,\text{C}_{22}=(-1)^{2+2}(3)=3$
$\text{adj A}=\begin{bmatrix}-1&-3\\ -1&3\end{bmatrix}^\text{T}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}-1&-1\\ -3&3\end{bmatrix}$
