Question:

If $\begin{bmatrix} x & 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ -1 \\ x \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} -2 \\ x \end{bmatrix}$, then value of $x$ is:

Options:

$-1$

$0$

$1$

$2$

Correct Answer:

$-1$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → -1 ##

We have,

$(x)(5) + (2)(-1) + (0)(x) = (3)(-2) + (1)(x)$

$5x - 2 = -6 + x$

$4x = -4$

$x = -1$
