$[\begin{array}{c} - 5 & x \\ y & 8 \end{array}] = [\begin{array}{c} - 5 & 14 \\ 27 & 8 \end{array}]$

Step 1

Write as a linear system of equations.

$- 5 = - 5$

$x = 14$

$y = 27$

$8 = 8$

Step 2

Since $8 = 8$ is always true, the matrix equation has infinite solutions.

Infinite solutions satisfying the system.
