Hi iLloyd054;
Have you copied the problem correctly?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: matrix A is symmetric, find values for a, b, and c
This is the way I see your matrix A.
We have t = 3 and s = 0
so 3s + t = 3
