Chapter 9 - Systems and Matrices - 9.7 Properties of Matrices - 9.7 Exercises - Page 929: 16

Answer

$ a=1$ $ b=-4$ $ c=9$ $ d=13$

Work Step by Step

Two matrices are equal if they have the same dimension and if corresponding elements, position by position, are equal. --- These matrices have the same dimension, 2$\times$2. Position by position, $c-3=6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad c=9$ $a+3=4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a=1$ $b+2=-2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b=-4$ $d-4=9 \quad \Rightarrow \quad d=13$
