Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{cc} \mathrm{W} & \mathrm{X}\\ -\mathrm{E}\mathrm{W}+\mathrm{Y} & -\mathrm{E}\mathrm{X}+\mathrm{Z} \end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

Partitioned matrices can be multiplied by the usual row-column rule as if the block entries were scalars, provided that for a product $AB$, the column partition of $A$ matches the row partition of $B$. $\left[\begin{array}{rr} \mathrm{I} & 0\\ -\mathrm{E} & \mathrm{I} \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{W} & \mathrm{X}\\ \mathrm{Y} & \mathrm{Z} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{rr} \mathrm{I}\mathrm{W}+0\mathrm{Y} & \mathrm{I}\mathrm{X}+0\mathrm{Z}\\ -\mathrm{E}\mathrm{W}+\mathrm{I}\mathrm{Y} & -\mathrm{E}\mathrm{X}+\mathrm{I}\mathrm{Z} \end{array}\right]$ $=\left[\begin{array}{rr} \mathrm{W} & \mathrm{X}\\ -\mathrm{E}\mathrm{W}+\mathrm{Y} & -\mathrm{E}\mathrm{X}+\mathrm{Z} \end{array}\right]$
