Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{rrr} -8 & 7 & -15\\ 7 & 0 & 22 \end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

A is a 2 by 3 matrix. 3A is also 2 by 3. B is a 2 by 3 matrix. 2B is also 2 by 3. 3A-2B is defined, and is a 2 by 3 matrix. $3A-2B=3\cdot\left[\begin{array}{lll} 0 & 3 & -5\\ 1 & 2 & 6 \end{array}\right]-2\cdot\left[\begin{array}{lll} 4 & 1 & 0\\ -2 & 3 & -2 \end{array}\right]$ $=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 3\cdot 0 & 3\cdot 3 & 3\cdot(-5)\\ 3\cdot 1 & 3\cdot 2 & 3\cdot 6 \end{array}\right]-\left[\begin{array}{lll} 2\cdot 4 & 2\cdot 1 & 2\cdot 0\\ 2\cdot(-2) & 2\cdot 3 & 2\cdot(-2) \end{array}\right]$ =$\left[\begin{array}{lll} 0-8 & 9-2 & -15-0\\ 3-(-4) & 6-6 & 18-(-4) \end{array}\right]$ =$\left[\begin{array}{rrr} -8 & 7 & -15\\ 7 & 0 & 22 \end{array}\right]$
