Multiply each element of A by -2, each of B by 8. Add corresponding elements. Result:
\((-2)A + (8)B = \begin{bmatrix} -64 & 20 \\ -28 & -20 \end{bmatrix}\).

To find (-2)A + (8)B, first, multiply each element of matrix A by (-2) and each element of matrix B by 8. Then, add the corresponding elements of the resulting matrices.

Matrix A:


\[ A = \begin{bmatrix} -24 & -30 \\ -2 & -2 \end{bmatrix} \]

Matrix B:


\[ B = \begin{bmatrix} -14 & -5 \\ -4 & -3 \end{bmatrix} \]

Multiply each element of A by (-2):


\[ (-2)A = \begin{bmatrix} 48 & 60 \\ 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \]

Multiply each element of B by 8:


\[ (8)B = \begin{bmatrix} -112 & -40 \\ -32 & -24 \end{bmatrix} \]

Now, add the corresponding elements:


\[ (-2)A + (8)B = \begin{bmatrix} 48 - 112 & 60 - 40 \\ 4 - 32 & 4 - 24 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -64 & 20 \\ -28 & -20 \end{bmatrix} \]

Therefore,
\((-2)A + (8)B = \begin{bmatrix} -64 & 20 \\ -28 & -20 \end{bmatrix}\).

Que. Given matrices A and B shown below, find
(−2)A+(8)B. A=[−24−30−2−2] and B=[−145−4−5−3] find matrix
