Question
Let $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}2&4\\3&2\end{bmatrix},\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\-2&5\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}-2&5\\3&4\end{bmatrix}.$ Find each of the following:
$\text{B}-4\text{C}$

Answer

Given, $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}2&4\\3&2\end{bmatrix},\text{ B}=\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\-2&5\end{bmatrix},\text{ C}=\begin{bmatrix}-2&5\\3&4\end{bmatrix}$
$\text{B}-4\text{C}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}-4\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\-2&5\end{bmatrix}-4\begin{bmatrix}-2&5\\3&4 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}-4\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\-2&5\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}-8&20\\12&16 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}-4\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}1+8&3-20\\-2-12&5-16\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}-4\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}9&-17\\-14&-11\end{bmatrix}$
