Forgive me if this is obvious, but I'm a Mathematica newbie and have given up trying to figure this out any other way.
I have the following defined matrices:
A = {{5, 0}, {0, 10}}
B = {{6, 3}, {1, 12}}
and a row vector:
L = {{1, 1}}.
I don't know how to use Greek here, so I'll use "Lambda" as the name of a row vector whose name is really the Greek letter lambda capitalized and "lambda" for as the name of the elements of Lambda subscripted, with the elements really being lower-case versions of the Greek letter lambda and subscripts indicated by appending _n, where n is the subscript (e.g. lambda_1 is lowercase lambda subscripted with 1). In other words,
Lambda = {{lambda_1, lambda_2}}.
Now given the following equation, solve for Lambda:
Lambda B = Lambda A + L.
Also, display the elements of Lambda as
lambda_1 = -1
lambda_2 = 2.
Can one do this in Mathematica? How?
