Answer

No solution.

Work Step by Step

Step 1. List the matrices needed: $\begin{array} \\A=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 2&1\\ 3&2 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{array} \\C=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 0&1&3\\ -2&4&0 \end{bmatrix} $ Step 2. Solve X from the equation: $X=\frac{1}{2}(5A-C)$ Step 3. Perform the operation: $\begin{array} \\5A-C=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 10&5\\ 15&10 \end{bmatrix}- \begin{bmatrix} 0&1&3\\ -2&4&0 \end{bmatrix} $ Step 4. Conclusion: because A and C are matrices of difference dimensions, there is no solution to the problem.
