The given matrix equation is
By definition of equality of matrices, we get,
2x = 6, 2y= 12, 2z = 18,2 t = 12
∴x = 3, y = 6, z = 9, t = 6
(i) Find the combined sales in September and October for each farmer in each variety.
(ii) Find the decrease in sales from September to October.
(iii) If both farmers receive 2% profit on gross sales, compute the profit for each farmer and for cach variety sold in October.
X, Z are matrices of order 2 x 2 X p respectively.
If n = p, then the order of the matrix 7X – 5Z is :
p x 2
2 x n
n x 3
n x 3
