As the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are also equal.
Comparing the corresponding elements, we get: x=1,y=4, and z=3
(ii) [
x+y
5+z

xy
]=[

As the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are also equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get:
x+y=6,xy=8,5+z=5
Now, 5+z=5⇒z=0
We know that:
(x−y)
2
=(x+y)
2
−4xy
⇒(x−y)
2
=36−32=4
⇒x−y=±2
Now, when x−y=2 and x+y=6, we get x=4 and y=2
When x−y=−2 and x+y=6, we get x=2 and y=4
∴x=4,y=2 and z=0orx=2,y=4 and z=0

As the two matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are also equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get:
x+y+z=9 ....(1)
x+z=5 ....(2)
y+z=7 ....(3)
From (1) and (2), we have:
y+5=9
⇒y=4
Then, from (3), we have: 4+z=7
⇒z=3
∴x+z=5
⇒x=2
∴x=2,y=4 and z=3
