Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{rrr} {-2+x-z}&{2-r}&{w-6}\\ {10+2z}&{2r-2}&{10}\\ {-10-2z}&{2-2r}&{-10}\end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

By the Distributive Law, $A(B+C)=AB+AC$, and we have calculated AB and AC in previous exercises $A(B+C)=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} {-2}&{1}&{-2}\\ {10}&{-2}&{2}\\ {-10}&{2}&{-2}\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc} {x-z}&{1-r}&{w-4}\\ {2z}&{2r}&{8}\\ {-2z}&{-2r}&{-8}\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{ccc} {-2+x-z}&{2-r}&{w-6}\\ {10+2z}&{2r-2}&{10}\\ {-10-2z}&{2-2r}&{-10}\end{array}\right]$
