.

Write 2x3-matrix B as it is given to you.



Then write 3x2-new matrix  B%5Et, which is transposed matrix B.



First  row of  B%5Et  is the first  column of B.

Second row of  B%5Et  is the second column of B.

Third  row of  B%5Et  is the third  column of B.



That's all what they want from you.


Matrix A is irrelevant in this post.

Solved.

Post-solution note: to be a good student, read and learn from your textbook.

All of that is written and explained there.

By the way - what is your Algebra textbook ?

Matrix B
1-1x
y2-3


Matrix B%5ET which is the transpose
1y
-12
x-3

This is the result of turning each row into a column.
row1 of B becomes column1 of B%5ET
row2 of B becomes column2 of B%5ET


Erase the grid lines when writing the matrices out.
It's unfortunate math notation that matrices don't involve grid lines to separate out each item.
