Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{lll} -12 & 14 & 0\\ 2 & -14 & 18 \end{array}\right]$

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 $c$. $-2A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} -4 & 2 & -4\\ -10 & -6 & 2 \end{array}\right],\quad 4D=\left[\begin{array}{lll} -8 & 12 & 4\\ 12 & -8 & 16 \end{array}\right]$ 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. $-2A$ and $4D$ are both $2\times 3$ matrices, so their sum exists. $-2A+4D=\left[\begin{array}{lll} -4-8 & 2+12 & -4+4\\ -10+12 & -6-8 & 2+16 \end{array}\right]$ $=\left[\begin{array}{lll} -12 & 14 & 0\\ 2 & -14 & 18 \end{array}\right]$
