Question 4 If A and B are matrices of order 3 × 𝑛 and 𝑚 × 5 respectively, then find the order of matrix 5A – 3B, given that it is defined. The Order of matrices A and B are 𝐴_(3 × 𝑛) and 𝐵_(𝑚 × 5) To find 5A − 2B, The order of matrix A and B must be the same Thus, 3 × n = m × 5 Thus, n = 5 Therefore, order of (5A − 2B) is 3 × 5
