Add corresponding elements.

2 & 2 3 & 4 -4 & 3

Practice makes perfect
For the addition of matrices to be possible, they need to be the same size. In the given exercise, both are 3* 2 matrices. This means they both have three rows and two columns. To add these matrices, we add the corresponding elements. Let's do it!
-2 & 3 0 & 4 -1 & 1 + 4 & -1 3 & 0 -3 & 2

Add matrices

-2+4 & 3 + (-1) 0 + 3 & 4 + 0 -1 + (-3) & 1 + 2
2 & 2 3 & 4 -4 & 3
