Answer

The matrix is, $\left[ \begin{array}{*{35}{r}} 5 & 4 \\ 1 & 11 \\ \end{array} \right]$

Work Step by Step

To solve the given expression, follow the methods given below: Matrix addition: consider the two given matrices $X,Y$ $X=\left[ \begin{matrix} {{x}_{1}} & {{x}_{2}} \\ {{x}_{3}} & {{x}_{4}} \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ and $Y=\left[ \begin{matrix} {{y}_{1}} & {{y}_{2}} \\ {{y}_{3}} & {{y}_{4}} \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ Now, $\begin{align} & X+Y=\left[ \begin{matrix} {{x}_{1}} & {{x}_{2}} \\ {{x}_{3}} & {{x}_{4}} \\ \end{matrix} \right]+\left[ \begin{matrix} {{y}_{1}} & {{y}_{2}} \\ {{y}_{3}} & {{y}_{4}} \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} {{x}_{1}}+{{y}_{1}} & {{x}_{2}}+{{y}_{2}} \\ {{x}_{3}}+{{y}_{3}} & {{x}_{4}}+{{y}_{4}} \\ \end{matrix} \right] \end{align}$ Matrix multiplication with a scalar: consider a matrix $Z$ and a scalar value a: $Z=\left[ \begin{matrix} {{z}_{1}} & {{z}_{2}} \\ {{z}_{3}} & {{z}_{4}} \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ Now, $\begin{align} & aZ=a\left[ \begin{matrix} {{z}_{1}} & {{z}_{2}} \\ {{z}_{4}} & {{z}_{3}} \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} a{{z}_{1}} & a{{z}_{2}} \\ a{{z}_{4}} & a{{z}_{3}} \\ \end{matrix} \right] \end{align}$ Using the method given above solve the given expression: $\begin{align} & 2B+3C=2\left[ \begin{array}{*{35}{r}} 1 & -1 \\ 2 & 1 \\ \end{array} \right]+3\left[ \begin{array}{*{35}{r}} 1 & 2 \\ -1 & 3 \\ \end{array} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{array}{*{35}{r}} 2 & -2 \\ 4 & 2 \\ \end{array} \right]+\left[ \begin{array}{*{35}{r}} 3 & 6 \\ -3 & 9 \\ \end{array} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{array}{*{35}{r}} 2+3 & -2+6 \\ 4-3 & 2+9 \\ \end{array} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{array}{*{35}{r}} 5 & 4 \\ 1 & 11 \\ \end{array} \right] \end{align}$ Hence, the required matrix is, $2B+3C=\left[ \begin{array}{*{35}{r}} 5 & 4 \\ 1 & 11 \\ \end{array} \right]$.
