If you invest x dollars at 3% intrest compounded annually ,then the amount A (x) of the investment after one year is A(x)=1.03x.

GarryVolchara [31]

The "compound amount" formula is A = P(1+r)^t.

Here, the Amount A(x) is (x)(1+0.03)^1= 1.03x.

Please be clearer about what you are asking here. I assume you just wanted to be told that you are right.

Treat the matrices on the right side of each equation like you would a constant.

Let 2X + Y = A and 3X - 4Y = B.

Then you can eliminate Y by taking the sum

4A + B = 4 (2X + Y) + (3X - 4Y) = 11X

==> X = (4A + B)/11

Similarly, you can eliminate X by using

-3A + 2B = -3 (2X + Y) + 2 (3X - 4Y) = -11Y

==> Y = (3A - 2B)/11

It follows that

$X=\dfrac4{11}\begin{bmatrix}12&-3\\10&22\end{bmatrix}+\dfrac1{11}\begin{bmatrix}7&-10\\-7&11\end{bmatrix} \\\\ X=\dfrac1{11}\left(4\begin{bmatrix}12&-3\\10&22\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}7&-10\\-7&11\end{bmatrix}\right) \\\\ X=\dfrac1{11}\left(\begin{bmatrix}48&-12\\40&88\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}7&-10\\-7&11\end{bmatrix}\right) \\\\ X=\dfrac1{11}\begin{bmatrix}55&-22\\33&99\end{bmatrix} \\\\ X=\begin{bmatrix}5&-2\\3&9\end{bmatrix}$
