Answer

$5C-2B=\left[ \begin{matrix} -5 & -7 \\ -1 & 9 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{align} & 5C-2B=5\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 \\ \end{matrix} \right]-2\left[ \begin{matrix} 5 & 1 \\ -2 & -2 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} 5\times 1 & 5\times -1 \\ 5\times -1 & 5\times 1 \\ \end{matrix} \right]-\left[ \begin{matrix} 2\times 5 & 2\times 1 \\ 2\times \left( -2 \right) & 2\times \left( -2 \right) \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} 5 & -5 \\ -5 & 5 \\ \end{matrix} \right]-\left[ \begin{matrix} 10 & 2 \\ -4 & -4 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} 5-10 & -5-2 \\ -5+4 & 5+4 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} -5 & -7 \\ -1 & 9 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \end{align}$
