Answer

$a=2$ $ z=-3$ $m=8$ $k=1$

Work Step by Step

Two matrices are equal if they have the same dimension and if corresponding elements, position by position, are equal. --- Adding the two matrices on the LHS, $\left[\begin{array}{lll} 4a+2 & 5z+1 & 10m\\ 10k & 5 & 9 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 10 & -14 & 80\\ 10 & 5 & 9 \end{array}\right]$ The dimensions are both 2$\times$3, so we equate, position by position $4a+2=10 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4a= 8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a=2$ $5z+1=-14 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5z=-15 \quad \Rightarrow \quad z=-3$ $10m=80 \quad \Rightarrow \quad m=8$ $10k=10 \quad \Rightarrow \quad k=1$
