Let Y = [5−2−73].
Then, YX = [−167−62]
Since YX exists, we have:
Number of rows of X = Number of columns in Y = 2
Number of columns of X = Number of columns in YX = 2
Order of X is 2 × 2.
Let X = [acbd].
Then,
⇒[5−2−73]×[acbd]=[−167−62]⇒[5a−7c−2a+3c5b−7d−2b+3d]=[−167−62]
Solving for a and c :
∴ -2a + 3c = 7
⇒ 2a = 3c - 7
⇒ a = 23c−7 …(1)
∴ 5a - 7c = -16 …….(2)
Substituting value of a from equation (1) in (2), we get :
⇒5(23c−7)−7c=−16⇒(215c−35)−7c=−16⇒215c−35−27c×2=−16⇒215c−35−14c=−16⇒2c−35=−16⇒c−35=−16×2⇒c−35=−32⇒c=−32+35⇒c=3.
Substituting value of c in equation (1), we get:
⇒ a = 23(3)−7
⇒ a = 29−7
⇒ a = 22
⇒ a = 1.
Solving for b and d:
∴ -2b + 3d = 2
⇒ 2b = 3d - 2
⇒ b = 23d−2 ….(3)
∴ 5b - 7d = -6 ……(4)
Substituting value of b from equation (3) in (4), we get:
⇒5(23d−2)−7d=−6⇒(215d−10)−7d=−6⇒215d−10−27d×2=−6⇒215d−10−14d=−6⇒2d−10=−6⇒d−10=−6×2⇒d−10=−12⇒d=−12+10⇒d=−2.
Substituting value of d in equation (3), we get:
⇒ b = 23(−2)−2
⇒ b = 2−6−2
⇒ b = 2−8
⇒ b = -4.
∴X=[13−4−2].
Hence, X = [13−4−2].
