Question
Solve the matrix equation $\begin{bmatrix}5 & 4 \\1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -2 \\1 & 3 \end{bmatrix},$ where $X$ is a $2 \times 2$ matrix.

Answer

$\begin{bmatrix}5 & 4 \\1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -2 \\1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$
Let $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}5 & 4 \\1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -2 \\1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$
So$, AX = B$
or $X = A^{-1}B .....(i)$
$|\text{A}|=1\neq0$
Cofactors of $A$ are:
$C_{11} = 1, C_{12} = -1$
$C_{21} = -4, C_{22} = 5$
$\therefore\ \text{adj A}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{C}_{11} & \text{C}_{12} \\ \text{C}_{21} & \text{C}_{22} \end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 \\-4 & 5 \end{bmatrix}^\text{T}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -4 \\-1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$
Now, $\text{A}^{-1}=\frac{1}{|\text{A}|}\text{ adj A}$
$\text{A}^{1}=\frac{1}{2}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -4 \\-1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$
So from $(i)$
$\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -4 \\-1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2 \\ 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix}-3 & -14 \\ 4 & 17 \end{bmatrix}$

A school wants to award its students for the values of Honesty, Regularity and Hard work with a total cash award of $₹\ 6,000$. Three times the award money for Hard work added to that given for honesty amounts to $₹\ 11,000$. The award money given for Honesty and Hardwork together is double the one given for Regularity. Represent the above situation algebraically and find the award money for each value, using matrix method. Apart from these values, namely, Honesty, Regularity and Hard work, suggest one more value which the school must include for awards.
