By definition of equality of matrices, we get,
2x – y= 10 ..,(1)
3x +y = 5 .,.(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get,
5 x = 15 or x = 3
∴ from (1), 6 – y=-10 ⇒ y = – 4
∴. x = 3, y = – 4.
(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
