Solve {l}{2}{4}-{l}{5}{1}

$$\left( \begin{array} { l } { 2 } \\ { 4 } \end{array} \right) - \left( \begin{array} { l } { 5 } \\ { 1 } \end{array} \right)$$

Evaluate

$$\left(\begin{matrix}-3\\3\end{matrix}\right)$$

Steps Using Rules for Matrix Arithmetic

You can add or subtract two matrices only if both matrices have the same number of rows and columns.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}2\\4\end{matrix}\right)-\left(\begin{matrix}5\\1\end{matrix}\right)$$

To subtract two matrices, subtract the corresponding elements.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}2-5\\4-1\end{matrix}\right)$$

Subtract 5 from 2.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}-3\\4-1\end{matrix}\right)$$

Subtract 1 from 4.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}-3\\3\end{matrix}\right)$$

Transpose Matrix

$$\left(\begin{matrix}-3&3\end{matrix}\right)$$
