If X1, X2 , ... , Xn are matrices of the same dimensions and a1, a2, ... an are constants, then

Y = a1*X1 + a2*X2 + ... + an,*Xn is a linear combination of the X matrices.

How can you use matrices to solve real world problems?

Matrices are tools to solve linear equations. Engineers use matrices in solving electrical problems in circuits using Thevenin's and Norton's theories.

Does the range of linear equations have all real numbers?

No. For example, linear algebra, for example, is about linear equations where the domain and range are matrices, not simple numbers. These matrices may themselves contain numbers that are real or complex so that not only is the range not the real numbers, but it is not based on real numbers either.


What is the answer for -4x 4y-8 and x-4y-7 using matrices?

The question contains expressions, not equations. It is not possible to solve linear expressions - whether you use matrices or not.


How matrices used in engineering?

If you have a system, which can be expressed as a set of linear equations, then you can utilize matrices to help solve it. One example is an electrical circuit which uses linear devices (example are constant voltage sources and resistive loads). To find the current through each device, a set of linear equations is derived.
