Exercise 54 Page 779

Subtract corresponding elements.

-33&-12 -6&27

Practice makes perfect
For the subtraction of matrices to be possible, they need to have the same dimensions. In the given exercise, both are 2* 2 matrices. This means they both have two rows and two columns. To subtract these matrices, we subtract the corresponding elements. Let's do it!
-1&2 0&17 - 32&14 6& -10

Subtract matrices

-1-32&2-14 0-6&17-(-10)
-33&-12 -6&27
