Match the unknown entries in the two matrices with their correct values

Answers:

===================================================

Explanation:

The left hand side is

That -6 outside the matrix is multiplied with each item inside the matrix. This is known as scalar matrix multiplication. Effectively, it's very similar to the idea of the distributive property.

So for the first row, we have the three columns of: -6*3 = -18 and -6*(-1) = 6 and -6*3 = -18

The other two rows are handled the same way. This is what should result:

From here, you'll then match up the terms in the given right hand side matrix. The top row has the variable 'u' in the middle, which matches with the '6' in the middle of the top row shown. Therefore, u = 6.

-----------------------------

Now to the second row.

The -48 in the first spot pairs up with the w in the other matrix. So we can see that w = -48. Similarly, we have v = 54.

Also, we have -6x in the middle which matches with the 6 in the same corresponding spot. Solving -6x = 6 leads to x = -1.

-----------------------------

Finally, the third row.

There's only one variable here and that's the variable y in the bottom right corner. It pairs up with 0 in the same corresponding spot for the right hand side matrix. Therefore, y = 0.

answer: 0.26
