First, perform the matrix multiplication on both sides of the equation:
\(\begin{bmatrix}x&2&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}5\\ -1\\ x\end{bmatrix} = [5x - 2 + 0] = [5x - 2]\)
\(\begin{bmatrix}3&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-2\\ x\end{bmatrix} = [-6 + x]\)
Now, equate the results:
\(5x - 2 = -6 + x\)
Solve for x:
\(5x - x = -6 + 2\)
\(4x = -4\)
\(x = -1\)
Correct Answer: -1
