Solve the given matrix equation for x or explain why no solution exists. x*A -B = C
A <- matrix(c(3,1,2,0,1,4),nrow = 3,ncol = 2)
B <- matrix(c(4,1,3,2,0,1),nrow = 3,ncol = 2)
C <- matrix(c(2,1,1,-2,2,6),nrow = 3,ncol = 2)
A
## [,1] [,2]
## [1,] 3 0
## [2,] 1 1
## [3,] 2 4
B
## [,1] [,2]
## [1,] 4 2
## [2,] 1 0
## [3,] 3 1
C
## [,1] [,2]
## [1,] 2 -2
## [2,] 1 2
## [3,] 1 6
multiplying x with matrix A would give us equations
(3*x) - 4 = 2
x - 1 = 1 Equation 1
(2*x) - 3 = 1
-2 = -2
x = 2
4x - 1 = 6 Equation 2
solving two equations we get two values for x(x = 2,x = 7/4),and therefore we say that system has no solution.
