Given the matrices #A=[(5,7),(-1,6), (3,-9)], B=[(8,3), (5,1), (4,4)], C=[(0,4),(-2,5), (7,-1)], D[(6,2), (9,0), (-3,0)]#, how do you find D-B? Precalculus Matrix Algebra Subtraction of Matrices 1 Answer Eddie Feb 6, 2017 # D - B= [(-2,-1), (4,-1), (-7,-4)] # Explanation: # D - B = [(6,2), (9,0), (-3,0)] - [(8,3), (5,1), (4,4)]# #= [(6-8,2-3), (9-5,0-1), (-3-4,0-4)] # #= [(-2,-1), (4,-1), (-7,-4)] # Answer link Related questions What is matrix subtraction?
