Matrix Subtraction Calculator
Subtract matrices step by step
The calculator will find the difference of two matrices (if possible), with steps shown. It subtracts matrices of any size up to 10x10 (2x2, 3x3, 4x4, etc.).
Your Input
Calculate $$$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 2 & -3\\2 & -3 & -5\\1 & 7 & 1\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -3 & 0\\1 & 1 & 5\\1 & 0 & -1\end{array}\right].$$$
Solution
$$$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{\color{BlueViolet}1} & {\color{Violet}2} & {\color{Chartreuse}-3}\\{\color{Peru}2} & {\color{DarkCyan}-3} & {\color{Blue}-5}\\{\color{OrangeRed}1} & {\color{Purple}7} & {\color{Crimson}1}\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}{\color{BlueViolet}2} & {\color{Violet}-3} & {\color{Chartreuse}0}\\{\color{Peru}1} & {\color{DarkCyan}1} & {\color{Blue}5}\\{\color{OrangeRed}1} & {\color{Purple}0} & {\color{Crimson}-1}\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}{\color{BlueViolet}\left(1\right)} - {\color{BlueViolet}\left(2\right)} & {\color{Violet}\left(2\right)} - {\color{Violet}\left(-3\right)} & {\color{Chartreuse}\left(-3\right)} - {\color{Chartreuse}\left(0\right)}\\{\color{Peru}\left(2\right)} - {\color{Peru}\left(1\right)} & {\color{DarkCyan}\left(-3\right)} - {\color{DarkCyan}\left(1\right)} & {\color{Blue}\left(-5\right)} - {\color{Blue}\left(5\right)}\\{\color{OrangeRed}\left(1\right)} - {\color{OrangeRed}\left(1\right)} & {\color{Purple}\left(7\right)} - {\color{Purple}\left(0\right)} & {\color{Crimson}\left(1\right)} - {\color{Crimson}\left(-1\right)}\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1 & 5 & -3\\1 & -4 & -10\\0 & 7 & 2\end{array}\right]$$$
Answer
$$$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 2 & -3\\2 & -3 & -5\\1 & 7 & 1\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -3 & 0\\1 & 1 & 5\\1 & 0 & -1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1 & 5 & -3\\1 & -4 & -10\\0 & 7 & 2\end{array}\right]$$$A
