Exactly the same just subtract...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't even understand how to do it though..

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[\left[\begin{matrix}a & b \\c& d\end{matrix}\right]-\left[\begin{matrix}e & f \\g& h\end{matrix}\right]=\left[\begin{matrix}a-e & b-f \\c-g& d-h\end{matrix}\right]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Those are just the variables ash2326

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Kaup Kel use this to evaluate the matrix subtraction, Did you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really really just need to learn from scratch how to do this. I don't even know what matrix is....

OpenStudy (ash2326):

I'll show you \[\left[\begin{matrix}7 & 11 \\-15& 3\end{matrix}\right]-\left[\begin{matrix}1 & 0 \\4& \frac{-11}{2}\end{matrix}\right]=\left[\begin{matrix}(7-1) & (11-0) \\(-15-4)& (3- \frac{-11}{2})\end{matrix}\right]\]

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Kaupkel did you understand this??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not at all, but that's okay. You tried to help me, and I appreciate it. I just don't know what I'm going to do. This is all new to me.

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Let me give you an idea of matrix

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or variables . The numbers are called elements of matrix. See this is a matrix with 4 elements a, b, c, d \[\left[\begin{matrix}a & b \\c& d\end{matrix}\right]\]

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Did you get this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.. so far(:

OpenStudy (ash2326):
