Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{lll} 0 & -10 & -15\\ -40 & -5 & -15 \end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

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. $A$ and $D$ are both $2\times 3$ matrices, so their sum exists. $A+D=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 2+(-2) & -1+3 & 2+1\\ 5+3 & 3+(-2) & -1+4 \end{array}\right]$=$\left[\begin{array}{lll} 0 & 2 & 3\\ 8 & 1 & 3 \end{array}\right]$ If $A$ is a matrix and $c$ is a scalar, then $cA$ is the matrix formed by multiplying each element in $A$ by $c$. $-5(A+D)=\left[\begin{array}{lll} -5(0) & -5(2) & -5(3)\\ -5(8) & -5(1) & -5(3) \end{array}\right]$ $=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 0 & -10 & -15\\ -40 & -5 & -15 \end{array}\right]$
