ECZ 2024 · O-Level Paper 1 — Matrices

Given that A = 4511 and B = x - 1120, find x if AB = 10421.

  • A. 1
  • B. 0
  • C. 2
  • D. 4

Verified working — step 1

You do not need the whole product - one entry of AB is enough to trap x. Use the top-left entry: row 1 of A across, column 1 of B down.

The full step-by-step working and final answer, plus the video lesson for this topic, are included with Premium — checked against ECZ marking standards.
