Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Perform the matrix addition on the left side of the equation.

    [−2x3z+34−y]+[21−x−2−34+xy]\begin{bmatrix} -2 & x & 3 \\ z+3 & 4 & -y \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1-x & -2 \\ -3 & 4+x & y \end{bmatrix}

    Add the corresponding elements:

    [−2+2x+(1−x)3+(−2)(z+3)+(−3)4+(4+x)−y+y]\begin{bmatrix} -2+2 & x+(1-x) & 3+(-2) \\ (z+3)+(-3) & 4+(4+x) & -y+y \end{bmatrix}

    Simplify the elements:

    [011z8+x0]\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 \\ z & 8+x & 0 \end{bmatrix}
  2. Equate the resulting matrix with the matrix on the right side of the given equation.

    [011z8+x0]=[01128+x4]\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 \\ z & 8+x & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 8+x & 4 \end{bmatrix}
  3. Compare the corresponding elements of the two matrices to form a system of equations.

    From the element in row 1, column 1:

    0=00 = 0

    From the element in row 1, column 2:

    1=11 = 1

    From the element in row 1, column 3:

    1=11 = 1

    From the element in row 2, column 1:

    z=2z = 2

    From the element in row 2, column 2:

    8+x=8+x8+x = 8+x

    From the element in row 2, column 3:

    0=40 = 4

    The last equation, 0=40=4, is a contradiction. This means that there are no values of xx, yy, and zz that can satisfy all the conditions of the given matrix equation simultaneously.

    Therefore, there is no solution for xx, yy, and zz.

    The final answer is No solution exists for x,y, and z\boxed{\text{No solution exists for } x, y, \text{ and } z}.
