Adding and Subtracting Matrices

In this lesson, we will learn how to add and subtract matrices. To add or subtract matrices, they need to have the same order. For example, a matrix that is a 2 × 3 can only be added to another matrix that is also a 2 × 3. Provided our two matrices have the same order, we can add or subtract the matrices by finding the sum or difference of the corresponding elements. Lastly, we will look at some examples of how to solve a basic matrix equation. These types of problems typically involve finding some unknown matrix X through the addition or subtraction of matrices.
