\

The equation is \ \ $\"\"$

\

The matrices have the same dimensions and the corresponding elements are equal.

\

The equality can be written as two linear equations. \ \

\

$\"\"$ Equation(1)

\

$\"\"$ Equation(2)

\

$\"\"$

\

\

Consider the equation $\"\"$ .

\

According subtraction property of equality; if $\"\"$ , then $\"\"$ ;

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 4 from each side).

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: 4 - 4 = 0)

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$

\

Next consider the equation $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 2).

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms) \ \

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ .
