Answer

\(\boxed{x = 6 \text{ and } y = 4}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the matrix equation: \(\left(\begin{array}{cc}x & 3 \\ 5 & 2 y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}6 & 3 \\ 5 & 8\end{array}\right)\)

Step 2 :Compare the corresponding elements of the two matrices to form equations:

Step 3 :\(x = 6\)

Step 4 :\(2y = 8\)

Step 5 :Solve the equations for x and y:

Step 6 :\(x = 6\)

Step 7 :\(y = \frac{8}{2} = 4\)

Step 8 :\(\boxed{x = 6 \text{ and } y = 4}\)
