Original question and givens

Over R, A=[[-4, -5, -6, -7], [-2, -3, -4, -5]] and B=[[-5, -3, -1, 1], [-4, -2, 0, 2]] have the same dimensions. Find A+B as a nested list of rows.

  • G001 — Over R, A=[[-4, -5, -6, -7], [-2, -3, -4, -5]] and B=[[-5, -3, -1, 1], [-4, -2, 0, 2]] 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.
