Ramone wrote the following matrix equation.

A+(8 -12 3)=
(0 18 -21)




Which explains why Ramone’s equation has no solution?
There is no number that when summed with 8 equals 0.
The matrices must be of the same size in order to perform addition or subtraction.
The sum of 8 and –12 is not 3.
The matrices must measure 2 X 2 in order to be added together.

Assuming matrix A is 1 * 1 then the ramone equation has no solution because it would be the sum of a scalar with a matrix. Which would not make sense. The matrices must be of the same dimensions to be added.
