Exercise 32 Page 209

Operate from left to right.

11 -8

Practice makes perfect

For the subtraction and the addition of matrices to be possible, they need to have the same dimensions. In the given exercise, all three are 2* 1 matrices. This means they have two rows and one column. To subtract and add these matrices, we subtract or add the corresponding elements. Let's do it!

2 -6 - -3 2 + 6 0

Subtract matrices

2-(-3) -6-2 + 6 0

Add matrices

2-(-3)+6 -6-2+0
2+3+6 -6-2+0
11 -8
