Q9:
Find $x$ and $y$, if $2\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 0 & x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} y & 0 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 6 \\ 1 & 8 \end{bmatrix}$
Solution :
Step 1: Scalar Multiplication of the First Matrix
Given the equation: $2\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 0 & x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} y & 0 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 6 \\ 1 & 8 \end{bmatrix}$
Apply scalar multiplication [Per the Scalar Multiplication Property of Matrices, where $k[A_{ij}] = [k \cdot A_{ij}]$]:
$2 \times \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 0 & x \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2(1) & 2(3) \\ 2(0) & 2(x) \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 6 \\ 0 & 2x \end{bmatrix}$
Step 2: Matrix Addition
Add the two matrices on the left-hand side [Per the definition of Matrix Addition, where $[A_{ij}] + [B_{ij}] = [A_{ij} + B_{ij}]$]:
$\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 6 \\ 0 & 2x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} y & 0 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 + y & 6 + 0 \\ 0 + 1 & 2x + 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 + y & 6 \\ 1 & 2x + 2 \end{bmatrix}$
Step 3: Equating Corresponding Elements
Set the resulting matrix equal to the matrix on the right-hand side:
$\begin{bmatrix} 2 + y & 6 \\ 1 & 2x + 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 6 \\ 1 & 8 \end{bmatrix}$
By the Principle of Equality of Matrices, we equate corresponding elements:
- For position $(1,1)$: $2 + y = 5$
- For position $(2,2)$: $2x + 2 = 8$
Step 4: Solving for Variables
Solving for $y$:
$2 + y = 5$
$y = 5 - 2$ [By Subtraction Property of Equality]
$y = 3$
Solving for $x$:
$2x + 2 = 8$
$2x = 8 - 2$ [By Subtraction Property of Equality]
$2x = 6$
$x = \frac{6}{2}$ [By Division Property of Equality]
$x = 3$
Final Solution: $x = 3, y = 3$

I am an experienced educator and founder of a dedicated coaching institute specializing in Class 12 tuition. With a strong track record of preparing students for board exams (CBSE), my focus is on building clear concepts and achieving top academic results. Key Experience & Skills Board Exam Specialization: Successfully guided numerous Class 12 batches, helping students consistently score 90%+ in board exams. Conceptual Learning: Focused on simplifying complex topics in Mathematics and Science through real-world examples rather than rote memorization. Structured Testing: Conduct regular chapter-wise tests, surprise quizzes, and full-length mock exams based on the latest board patterns. Doubt Resolution: Provided dedicated doubt-clearing sessions and individual attention to address every student's weak areas. Exam Strategies: Trained students in time management, answer-sheet presentation, and smart problem-solving techniques.
I learned many new things. Our teacher explained every topic in a simple and interesting way, which made learning easier for me. One day, our teacher conducted a fun quiz and group activity. Everyone participated enthusiastically, and we helped each other find the correct answers. It was a joyful moment because we learned something new while enjoying ourselves. My teacher appreciated my efforts, which boosted my confidence and motivated me to work harder. The friendly atmosphere of the coaching class made me feel comfortable asking questions and clearing my doubts. I also made good friends who supported me in my studies. This experience taught me the importance of teamwork, discipline, and regular practice. Overall, my coaching classes have given me not only academic knowledge but also confidence, friendship, and beautiful memories. It is one of the best experiences of my student life, and I will always remember it.

I have experience teaching Mathematics to Class 12 students, focusing on building strong conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. I teach key topics such as Calculus (limits, derivatives, and integrals), Matrices, Determinants, Probability, and Vectors. My teaching approach includes explaining concepts step-by-step, solving examples on the board, and giving practice questions similar to board exam patterns. I regularly conduct revision tests, doubt-clearing sessions, and discuss previous years’ question papers to help students prepare effectively for board examinations. I encourage students to understand the logic behind formulas rather than memorizing them. My goal is to make mathematics easier, improve students’ confidence, and help them achieve good results in Class 12 board exams.
A good teacher who relates to the child n guides them to perform better. Has clarity n mastery over the subject he teaches.

Hi! I’m Vinotha Arulkumar, a passionate Maths Teacher from Chennai. My qualifications are M. Sc., M. Phil. and B. Ed in Mathematics. From my 10th standard onwards, I got many centum in maths. I’m the topper of my batch in my Under Graduation, M. Phil., and B. Ed. And also I’m the gold medalist in my M. Sc., Mathematics. I possess about 16 years of teaching experience in the field of education. One year in Arts and science college, seven years in Engineering colleges and taking tuition for 10th and 12th maths for more than 10 years. In Arts and Science College I handled B. Sc., Mathematics and M. Com. In Engineering colleges, I handled maths papers for BE, B. Tech., ME, M. Tech., MCA and MBA. While working in engineering colleges, I have received Proficiency Awards for 6 times as I produced 100% results in engineering mathematics. Due to the pandemic situation, presently I’m taking online classes only. I can teach in English and Tamil. My usual class duration is 1 Hr. The key element of my teaching method is to keep on interacting with students while teaching. Before getting in to a problem, usually I will make the students understand the concepts and fundamentals of the chapter first. Then, I will let the students to understand the problem and let them solve it with my guidance. So that they will never forget the concepts. I often conduct online MCQ assessments to evaluate the progress of my students. Bases on the assessment results, I will give individual attention to each student. I keep producing excellent results every year through my vast knowledge & experience in Mathematics. Lot of my students got centum marks in their board exams! Thank you and all the best for your bright future!
Good teaching skills. Explain the concepts clearly, student was able to understand easily. Good communication.
