  • Matrix can also be added or subtracted.
  • But there are some things to consider when adding or subtracting matrices.
  • To add two matrices together, the number of rows of the first matrix should be equal to the number of rows of the second matrix, and the number of columns of the first matrix should be equal to the number of columns of the second matrix.
  • That means the two or more matrices that need to be added are required to be of the same kind.
  • If the two matrices that need to be calculated are in the same kind, we can add or subtract them.

Matrix addition

  • To add, we need to add the first element of the first row in the first matrix with the first element of the first row in the second element, and so on for the rest of elements.
  • Each element needs to be added or subtracted with the element which is in the same identical location of the second matrix.
  • The following example shows matrix addition.
