Answer

Given, [aabb+c0]=[3120]\begin{bmatrix} a & a - b \ b + c & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1 \ 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

By definition of equality of matrices we get,

a = 3,

a - b = -1
⇒ 3 - b = -1 [∵ a = 3]
⇒ b = 3 + 1 = 4

b + c = 2
⇒ 4 + c = 2
⇒ c = -2.

Hence, a = 3, b = 4 and c = -2.
