Answer

$ X= \begin{bmatrix} -3 & 4 \\ -5 & 11 \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of matrix equality, the given matrix equation $ \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 \\ 4 & -2 \end{bmatrix} + X = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5 \\ -1 & 9 \end{bmatrix} ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 \\ 4 & -2 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 \\ 4 & -2 \end{bmatrix} + X &= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5 \\ -1 & 9 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 \\ 4 & -2 \end{bmatrix} \\\\ X &= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5 \\ -1 & 9 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 \\ 4 & -2 \end{bmatrix} \\\\&= \begin{bmatrix} 3-6 & 5-1 \\ -1-4 & 9-(-2) \end{bmatrix} \\\\&= \begin{bmatrix} -3 & 4 \\ -5 & 11 \end{bmatrix} .\end{align*} Hence, $ X= \begin{bmatrix} -3 & 4 \\ -5 & 11 \end{bmatrix} $.
