Matrix Methods and Operations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a word problem using the matrix method. It begins by setting up the problem with variables and equations, then represents these equations in matrix form. The tutorial covers finding the inverse of a matrix, calculating cofactors and determinants, and using the adjoint to find the solution. The final section includes calculations and concludes with the cost of each item per kg.
