To add or subtract 2 or more matrices, they have to be in the same dimensions

The dimensions of a matrix are

The number of rows m and the number of column n

It is m x n

So the matrix of dimensions 4 x 5 has m = 4 and n = 5

The dimensions 5 x 3 means m = 5 and n = 3

Number of rows not equal

Number of columns not equal

Then we can NOT add them

The answer is NO
