Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{lll} 2 & 3 & 8\\ 21 & 5 & 5 \end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

If $A$ is a matrix and $c$ is a scalar, then $cA$ is the matrix formed by multiplying each element in $A$ by $c$. $3A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 6 & -3 & 6\\ 15 & 9 & -3 \end{array}\right],\quad 2D=\left[\begin{array}{lll} -4 & 6 & 2\\ 6 & -4 & 8 \end{array}\right]$ To add two matrices, they must have the same order. The resulting matrix has elements obtained by adding the corresponding elements of the two matrices. $3A$ and $2D$ are both $2\times 3$ matrices, so their sum exists. $3A+2D=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 6-4 & -3+6 & 6+2\\ 15+6 & 9-4 & -3+8 \end{array}\right]$ $=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 2 & 3 & 8\\ 21 & 5 & 5 \end{array}\right]$
