Answer

\[\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&{ - 4\sqrt 7 } \\ {4\sqrt 7 }&{ - 8} \end{array}} \right]\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{gathered} \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&{\sqrt 7 } \\ {3\sqrt {28} }&{ - 6} \end{array}} \right] - \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 1}&{5\sqrt 7 } \\ {2\sqrt 7 }&2 \end{array}} \right] \hfill \\ {\text{Use the scalar multiplication}} \hfill \\ = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&{\sqrt 7 } \\ {3\sqrt {4 \cdot 7} }&{ - 6} \end{array}} \right] + \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 5\sqrt 7 } \\ { - 2\sqrt 7 }&{ - 2} \end{array}} \right] \hfill \\ = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&{\sqrt 7 } \\ {6\sqrt 7 }&{ - 6} \end{array}} \right] + \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 5\sqrt 7 } \\ { - 2\sqrt 7 }&{ - 2} \end{array}} \right] \hfill \\ {\text{Add the corresponding elements}} \hfill \\ = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {2 + 1}&{\sqrt 7 - 5\sqrt 7 } \\ {6\sqrt 7 - 2\sqrt 7 }&{ - 6 - 2} \end{array}} \right] \hfill \\ {\text{Simplify}} \hfill \\ = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&{ - 4\sqrt 7 } \\ {4\sqrt 7 }&{ - 8} \end{array}} \right] \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
