Consider the matrices

A=
(1 5 -3)
(2 x -3)

B=
(1 3 -1)
(3 x -1)

Find x so A and B have the same line space.
I tried to do this problem but I was stuck with

A=
(1 (x-5) 0)
(0 (x-10) 3)

B=
(1 3 -1)
(0 (x-9) 2)

Also, I'm not really sure of what they mean by same line space.

If you don't know what the definition of "line space" is from your notes, then we're not guaranteed to know. Indeed the only definition I could find was that it was a Liouville space, which is a product of Hilbert spaces, so I don't think that's waht you want.
 
Is it possible they mean "row" space? Or "column" space (unlikely, since they have the same column space in \mathbb{R}^2 regardless of the value of x)? Ask your intructor.
 
Yes, they mean row space. Sorry, I translated it from French a bit too fast I guess. Actually, I have to find the value of x so they have the same row space but I don't know how.
 
Row reduce into ecehlon form, the resulting vectors must have the same spane. Finding the span is the same as finding solutions to simultaneous equations. If you use reduced row echelon form the answer is even easier to read off. These topics will almost certainly bi in your notes, though I don't know the French terms for them (though I can guess what echelon is).
 

Thread '##(A/\mathfrak{a})_{\mathfrak{p}/\mathfrak{a}}## and its isomorphism?'

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...

Thread 'Trouble understanding an online solution to an exercise in Dummit & Foote'

##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...

Thread 'Questions about non existence of GCDs vs (coimages, cokernels)'

The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
