Answer

$[(9,2)]_C=(3,-1)\\ [(4,-3]_C=(-1,-2)\\ [(4,-3)]_{C \leftarrow B}=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1 \\ -1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

We know that: For B: $a(2,1)+b(-3,1)=(9,2)$ For C: $c(2,1)+d(-3,1)=(4,-3)$ To find $[(9,2)]_C$: $2a-3b=9\\ a+b=2\\ 2a-3b+3(a+b)=15 \rightarrow 5a=15 \rightarrow a=3$ Thus $3+b=2 \rightarrow b=-1$ To find $[(4,-3)]_{C}:$ $2c-3d=4\\ c+d=-3\\ 2c-3d+3(c+d)=-5 \rightarrow 5c=-5 \rightarrow c=-1$ Thus $-1+d=-3 \rightarrow d=-2$ Hence we have: $[(9,2)]_C=(3,-1)\\ [(4,-3]_C=(-1,-2)\\ [(4,-3)]_{C \leftarrow B}=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1 \\ -1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}$
