[← Question derivation index](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/questions/) · [Original question batch](https://ocme.evemisslab.com/en/practice/batch-20261006-advance-20261007-r01-matrix-foundations/#q-20261006-advance-20261007-r01-matrix-0056)

This teaching derivation has second-context AI mathematical and bilingual semantic review, limited to the model and assumptions stated in this question. It has no human review or new Lean proof and does not promote the original question or MKO to Canonical truth.

R0065-33106 · q-20261006-advance-20261007-r01-matrix-0056



## Original question and givens

Over R, A=[[-7], [-5]] and B=[[-2], [-1]] have the same dimensions. Find A+B as a nested list of rows.


- G001 — Over R, A=[[-7], [-5]] and B=[[-2], [-1]] have the same dimensions. Find A+B as a nested list of rows.





## Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

## Step-by-step derivation

S001 · impliesBefore

source roles = [qf-matrix-addition, matrix_addition, reals, []]

After

derived = [[nested_ROW_matrix]]

Conditions: none

MOD25 uses LOCAL hyphens/named domains,legacy matrices underscores/reals;BASE logic acquires no domain/op.Output tuples,matrices,numeric fields and fraction texts follow THIS source,not a universal/1 rule.Retain originals/English/AST/status.

S004 · calculationBefore

Matrix sum ORIGINAL entry0,0 := sum(-7, -2)

After

Matrix sum ORIGINAL entry0,0 = -9

Conditions: none

Use ORIGINAL operands/order for exact arithmetic.Rational operations separately enforce this MOD25 SOURCE pre-reduction envelope.Do not globally cap every derived integer at one million or use floating approximations.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003





S005 · calculationBefore

Matrix sum ORIGINAL entry1,0 := sum(-5, -1)

After

Matrix sum ORIGINAL entry1,0 = -6

Conditions: none

Use ORIGINAL operands/order for exact arithmetic.Rational operations separately enforce this MOD25 SOURCE pre-reduction envelope.Do not globally cap every derived integer at one million or use floating approximations.

Step identifiers and dependenciesRule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004





S006 · impliesBefore

source roles = [[[-7], [-5]], [[-2], [-1]]]

After

derived = [[[-9], [-6]]]

Conditions: none

Add EVERY corresponding entry ONLY at equal shapes.Derived sums may exceed SAFE;do not reparse as a RAW matrix.No zero-padding or broadcasting.

## Result

[[-9], [-6]]

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
