Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Given symbol,
Calculation:
If two matrices have the same dimensions and the elements in all corresponding positions are equal, then the matrices are equal.
Since the matrices are equal, equate the elements in corresponding positions.
Number the equations,
Multiply each side of equation (2) by 3 eliminates the term.
Now, add equation (1) and equation (3).
Now, substitute 3 for in equation (2) and solve for
Therefore, the value of is 3, and that of is
