Answer:

c.

Explanation:

that is easy.

a matrix multiplied by a constant is multiplying every element in the matrix by that constant.

and subtracting a matrix from another is subtracting the elements on each position.

it is a simile as that.

for that reason I only need to look at the first, top left element to determine the correct answer :

-1×2 - 4×7 = -2 - 28 = -30

so, c. is the right answer.

the calculation in full :

2A =

-2 18 4

20 -20 4

-10 12 -10

4B =

28 -4 -4

24 -16 -12

-40 40 -28

so, 2A - 4B =

-30 22 8

-4 -4 16

30 -28 18
