Operations on Matrix

Learn how to add and subtract matrices, then practice solving questions.

Addition of Matrix

Matrix addition is the operation of adding two or more matrices by adding their corresponding elements.

For example, let

A =abcdandB =efgh

Then,

A + B =a + eb + fc + gd + h

Matrices can be added only when they have the same order.

Matrix subtraction is the operation of subtracting one matrix from another by subtracting their corresponding elements.

For example, let

A =abcdandB =efgh

Then,

A − B =a − eb − fc − gd − h

Matrices can be subtracted only when they have the same order.
