Answer (c)

Evaluate A + 2B = C
u'll get
(2 -3 + (8 6x = (10 -15
-2 5) 0 -2) -2 3)

(a) (i) -3 + 6x = -15 (u will write the corresponding values on LHS and RHS)
(ii) solve the eqn.. ... u'll get x= -2
(b) that first find |A|
annd then find A-1....i think u know how to find the inverse!! :) otherwise let me know :)
