They are not compatible.

Explanation:

Since Z and Y have different dimensions, we cannot find their difference.

#Z# is a #(2 xx 2)# matrix and #Y# is a #(1 xx 2)#, they cannot be added or subtracted. They are not compatible.

We can only multiply #Y xx Z#, because the width of #Y# matches the height of #Z#.
