Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate (1/4)B

Multiply each element of matrix B by (1/4):

(1/4)B = [(1/4)_20 (1/4)_24 (1/4)_-16] [(1/4)_-44 (1/4)_-44 (1/4)_20 ]

(1/4)B = [5 6 -4] [-11 -11 5]

Step 2: Calculate (1/4)B - A

Subtract matrix A from (1/4)B:

(1/4)B - A = [5-5 6-(-2) -4-6] [-11-(-3) -11-(-1) 5-4]

(1/4)B - A = [0 8 -10] [-8 -10 1]

Final Answer

[0 8 -10] [-8 -10 1]
