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 6B-2A?

The answer is =((38,4),(32,-6),(18,42))

Explanation:

A=((5,7),(-1,6),(3,-9))

Therefore, 2A=2*((5,7),(-1,6),(3,-9))=((10,14),(-2,12),(6,-18))

B=((8,3),(5,1),(4,4))

Therefore, 6B=6*((8,3),(5,1),(4,4))=((48,18),(30,6),(24,24))

So, 6B-2A=((48,18),(30,6),(24,24))-((10,14),(-2,12),(6,-18))

= ((38,4),(32,-6),(18,42))
