How do you solve these matrices equations? 

1. -3x +[7  0  -1] = [10     0   8]
        [2 -3   4]   [-19  -18  10]


2. -3y + 2[6     9] = [27    -18]
          [-12  15]   [30      6]


3.  3[2   0]-2x =[-10     5]
     [-1  5]     [0      17]


4. 5x -[1.5    -3.6] = [0.2    1.3]
       [-0.3    2.8]   [-5.6   1.7]

How do you solve these matrices equations?
I'll just do one.  It's just like solving ordinary equations, except 
you do the operations to all the elements or to corresponding elements:

I'll go through every step, but you'll be able to do some of the
steps in your head.

  

Subtract the matrix on the left from both sides:

             

Subtract the matrices by subtracting corresponding elements

           

           

          

Divide both sides by -3 by dividing every element by -3
