Answer

$\begin{bmatrix} 6.4 & -1.9 \\ -6.4 & 0.8 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -2.5 & -0.4 \\ 5.8 & 8.3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3.9 & -2.3 \\ -0.6 & 9.1 \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

Adding/subtracting the corresponding elements, the given matrix expression $ \begin{bmatrix} 6.4 & -1.9 \\ -6.4 & 0.8 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -2.5 & -0.4 \\ 5.8 & 8.3 \end{bmatrix} ,$ simplifies to \begin{align*} & \begin{bmatrix} 6.4+(-2.5) & -1.9+(-0.4) \\ -6.4+5.8 & 0.8+8.3 \end{bmatrix} \\\\&= \begin{bmatrix} 3.9 & -2.3 \\ -0.6 & 9.1 \end{bmatrix} .\end{align*} Hence, $ \begin{bmatrix} 6.4 & -1.9 \\ -6.4 & 0.8 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -2.5 & -0.4 \\ 5.8 & 8.3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3.9 & -2.3 \\ -0.6 & 9.1 \end{bmatrix} $.
