Adding and Subtracting Matrices
A matrix can only be added to (or subtracted from) another matrix if the two matrices have the same dimensions .
To add two matrices, just add the corresponding entries, and place this sum in the corresponding position in the matrix which results.
Example 1:
Add the matrices.
First note that both addends are matrices, so we can add them.
Subtraction with matrices is just as straightforward.
Example 2:
Subtract.
Subtract corresponding entries.
