Answer:

No, you cannot.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can only add or subtract matrices when they have matching dimensions, meaning they both need to have the same number of rows and columns to be added and subtracted.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Matrix addition and subtraction are defined operations only for matrices of the same dimensions.

A 3×2 matrix cannot be added or subtracted with a 4×3 matrix.
