Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Define variables and set up the system of linear equations.

    Let gg be the cost of one geometrical set.
    Let mm be the cost of one mathematical table.

    From the problem statement, we have two equations:

    1. Five geometrical sets and three mathematical tables cost sh. 2,816:
    5g+3m=28165g + 3m = 2816
    1. Three geometrical sets and five mathematical tables cost sh. 3,360:
    3g+5m=33603g + 5m = 3360
  2. Write the system of equations in matrix form AX=BAX = B.

    [5335][gm]=[28163360]\begin{bmatrix} 5 & 3 \\ 3 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} g \\ m \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2816 \\ 3360 \end{bmatrix}

    Here, A=[5335]A = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 3 \\ 3 & 5 \end{bmatrix}, X=[gm]X = \begin{bmatrix} g \\ m \end{bmatrix}, and B=[28163360]B = \begin{bmatrix} 2816 \\ 3360 \end{bmatrix}.

  3. Find the determinant of matrix AA.

    det⁡(A)=(5×5)−(3×3)=25−9=16\det(A) = (5 \times 5) - (3 \times 3) = 25 - 9 = 16
  4. Find the inverse of matrix AA, denoted as A−1A^{-1}.

    For a 2×22 \times 2 matrix [abcd]\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}, the inverse is 1det⁡(A)[d−b−ca]\frac{1}{\det(A)} \begin{bmatrix} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{bmatrix}.

    A−1=116[5−3−35]A^{-1} = \frac{1}{16} \begin{bmatrix} 5 & -3 \\ -3 & 5 \end{bmatrix}
  5. Solve for XX using X=A−1BX = A^{-1}B.

    [gm]=116[5−3−35][28163360]\begin{bmatrix} g \\ m \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{16} \begin{bmatrix} 5 & -3 \\ -3 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2816 \\ 3360 \end{bmatrix}

    Perform the matrix multiplication:

    [gm]=116[(5×2816)+(−3×3360)(−3×2816)+(5×3360)]\begin{bmatrix} g \\ m \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{16} \begin{bmatrix} (5 \times 2816) + (-3 \times 3360) \\ (-3 \times 2816) + (5 \times 3360) \end{bmatrix} [gm]=116[14080−10080−8448+16800]\begin{bmatrix} g \\ m \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{16} \begin{bmatrix} 14080 - 10080 \\ -8448 + 16800 \end{bmatrix} [gm]=116[40008352]\begin{bmatrix} g \\ m \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{16} \begin{bmatrix} 4000 \\ 8352 \end{bmatrix}
  6. Divide by the determinant to find the values of gg and mm.

    g=400016=250g = \frac{4000}{16} = 250 m=835216=522m = \frac{8352}{16} = 522

    The cost of one geometrical set is sh. 250.
    The cost of one mathematical table is sh. 522.

    The final answer is Cost of one geometrical set = sh. 250, Cost of one mathematical table = sh. 522\boxed{\text{Cost of one geometrical set = sh. 250, Cost of one mathematical table = sh. 522}}.
