Hello Everyone! Please help Me!
\(\displaystyle \mbox{If }\, \left[\,\begin{array}{cc}a\, +\, b&2\\5&ab\end{array}\,\right]\, =\, \left[\,\begin{array}{cc}6&2\\5&8\end{array}\,\right],\, \mbox{ find the value of }\, a\, \mbox{ and }\, b.\)
So far i have done:
So, we have
By equality of matrices:
a+b=6 ...(i)
ab = 8 ...(ii)
I know the answer is a=2, b=4 or a=4, b=2. But i don't know the process of finding it.
