Answer

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

Work Step by Step

The given matrices are $A=\left[\begin{matrix} 0& 3 &-5\\ 1& 2 &6 \end{matrix}\right]$ $B=\left[\begin{matrix} 4& 1 &0\\ -2& 3 &-2 \end{matrix}\right]$ Multiply matrix $A$ by $3$. $3A=3\left[\begin{matrix} 0& 3 &-5\\ 1& 2 &6 \end{matrix}\right]$ Multiply each element by $3$. $3A=\left[\begin{matrix} 0& 9 &-15\\ 3& 6 &18 \end{matrix}\right]$ Multiply matrix $B$ by $2$. $2B=2\left[\begin{matrix} 4& 1 &0\\ -2& 3 &-2 \end{matrix}\right]$ Multiply each element by $2$. $2B=\left[\begin{matrix} 8& 2 &0\\ -4& 6 &-4 \end{matrix}\right]$ Subtract each entry of $2B$ from $3A$. $\Rightarrow 3A-2B=\left[\begin{matrix} 0-8& 9-2 &-15-0\\ 3-(-4)& 6-6 &18-(-4) \end{matrix}\right]$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 3A-2B=\left[\begin{matrix} -8& 7 &-15\\ 3+4& 0 &18+4 \end{matrix}\right]$ $\Rightarrow 3A-2B=\left[\begin{matrix} -8& 7 &-15\\ 7& 0 &22 \end{matrix}\right]$.
