See this solver for more help with multiplying matrices.

Since the first matrix is a 3 by 4 matrix and the second matrix is a 4 by 2 matrix, this means that the resulting matrix will be a 3 by 2 matrix. The final matrix will have the same number of rows as the first matrix and the same number of columns as the second matrix.

So the final resulting matrix will look like:

AMP Rendering Error of '(matrix(3,4,x,x,x,x,x,x))'.

note: the "x"s are just placeholders for now

--------------------------------------------------

Multiply the corresponding entries from the 1st row of the first matrix by the 1st column of the second matrix. After multiplying, add the values:

1st row, 1st column:

So the element in the 1st row, 1st column of the resulting matrix is . Now let's update the matrix:

AMP Rendering Error of '(matrix(3,4,82,x,x,x,x,x))'.

--------------------------------------------------

Multiply the corresponding entries from the 1st row of the first matrix by the 2nd column of the second matrix. After multiplying, add the values:

1st row, 2nd column:

So the element in the 1st row, 2nd column of the resulting matrix is . Now let's update the matrix:

AMP Rendering Error of '(matrix(3,4,82,-25,x,x,x,x))'.

================================================================================

Multiply the corresponding entries from the 2nd row of the first matrix by the 1st column of the second matrix. After multiplying, add the values:

2nd row, 1st column:

So the element in the 2nd row, 1st column of the resulting matrix is . Now let's update the matrix:

AMP Rendering Error of '(matrix(3,4,82,-25,85,x,x,x))'.

--------------------------------------------------

Multiply the corresponding entries from the 2nd row of the first matrix by the 2nd column of the second matrix. After multiplying, add the values:

2nd row, 2nd column:

So the element in the 2nd row, 2nd column of the resulting matrix is . Now let's update the matrix:

AMP Rendering Error of '(matrix(3,4,82,-25,85,43,x,x))'.

================================================================================

Multiply the corresponding entries from the 3rd row of the first matrix by the 1st column of the second matrix. After multiplying, add the values:

3rd row, 1st column:

So the element in the 3rd row, 1st column of the resulting matrix is . Now let's update the matrix:

AMP Rendering Error of '(matrix(3,4,82,-25,85,43,-17,x))'.

--------------------------------------------------

Multiply the corresponding entries from the 3rd row of the first matrix by the 2nd column of the second matrix. After multiplying, add the values:

3rd row, 2nd column:

So the element in the 3rd row, 2nd column of the resulting matrix is . Now let's update the matrix:

AMP Rendering Error of '(matrix(3,4,82,-25,85,43,-17,-97))'.

==============================================================================

Answer:

So the solution is

In other words,

AMP Rendering Error of '(matrix(3,4,-5,-2,10,9,-1,-3,2,10,-10,-3,-3,-10))*(matrix(3,4,-7,10,2,-9,-3,-2,9,3))=(matrix(3,2,82,-25,85,43,-17,-97))'.
