Find values of rr and ss that satisfy 3[2r,5s][s,3r]=[18,9]3[2r, 5s] - [s, 3r] = [-18, 9]. If no solution exists, state "Not Possible".

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is a system of linear equations represented in matrix form. . The variables are r and s.

STEP 2

First, let's expand the left side of the equation.[2r5s][sr]=[6r15s][sr]\left[\begin{array}{c} 2 r \\ 5 s\end{array}\right]-\left[\begin{array}{c} s \\ r\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c} 6 r \\ 15 s\end{array}\right]-\left[\begin{array}{c} s \\ r\end{array}\right]

STEP 3

Next, subtract the second matrix from the first one.
[6r15s][s3r]=[6rs15s3r]\left[\begin{array}{c} 6 r \\ 15 s\end{array}\right]-\left[\begin{array}{c} s \\ 3 r\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c} 6 r - s \\ 15 s -3 r\end{array}\right]

STEP 4

Now, we equate the resulting matrix to the given matrix on the right side of the equation.
[6rs15s3r]=[189]\left[\begin{array}{c} 6 r - s \\ 15 s -3 r\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c} -18 \\ 9\end{array}\right]

STEP 5

This gives us two equations1. rs=18r - s = -18
2. 15s3r=915s -3r =9

STEP 6

Let's solve the first equation for ss=6r+18s =6r +18

STEP 7

Now, substitute ss from the first equation into the second equation15(6r+18)3r=915(6r +18) -3r =9

STEP 8

implify the equation90r+2703r=90r +270 -3r =

STEP 9

Combine like terms87r+270=987r +270 =9

STEP 10

Subtract270 from both sides87r=26187r = -261

STEP 11

Divide both sides by87 to solve for rr=261/87r = -261 /87

STEP 12

Calculate the value of rr=r = -

STEP 13

Now, substitute r=3r = -3 into the first equation to find the value of ss=6(3)+18s =6(-3) +18

STEP 14

Calculate the value of ss=18+18=0s = -18 +18 =0
The values of the variables that make the equation true are r=3r = -3 and s=0s =0.
