Answer

$c=\dfrac{5}{2},\text{ }d=\dfrac{2}{5},\text{ }f=7,\text{ }g=5,\text{ }h=-1 $

Work Step by Step

Equating each corresponding elements in the given matrix equation, $ \begin{bmatrix} 4c & 2-d & 5 \\ -3 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & -10 & 15 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2c+5 & 4d & g \\ -3 & h & f-g \\ 0 & -4c & 15 \end{bmatrix} ,$ and then solving the resulting equation, then \begin{align*} 4c&=2c+5 \\ 4c-2c&=2c-2c+5 \\ 2c&=5 \\ \dfrac{2c}{2}&=\dfrac{5}{2} \\ c&=\dfrac{5}{2} ,\\\\\\ 2-d&=4d \\ 2-d+d&=4d+d \\ 2&=5d \\ \dfrac{2}{5}&=\dfrac{5d}{5} \\ \dfrac{2}{5}&=d ,\\\\\\ 5&=g ,\\\\\\ -1&=h ,\\\\\\ 2&=f-g \\ 2&=f-5 &\text{(substitute $g=5$)} \\ 2+5&=f-5+5 \\ 7&=f .\end{align*} Hence, $ c=\dfrac{5}{2},\text{ }d=\dfrac{2}{5},\text{ }f=7,\text{ }g=5,\text{ }h=-1 .$
