.

If   A + B = C,  where A is symmetric matrix and B is skew-symmetric matrix, then


    A = %281%2F2%29%2A%28C+%2B+C%5Et%29,   B = %281%2F2%29%2A%28C+-+C%5Et%29,     (1)


where upper script  ^t  means  matrix transposition.


Having formula  (1),  you do the rest.

Solved,   and you just obtained all necessary instructions.
