Let $A+2B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ 6 & -3 & 3 \\ -5 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $2A-B=\begin{bmatrix} 2 &…
Let $A+2B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ 6 & -3 & 3 \\ -5 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $2A-B=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 5 \\ 2 & -1 & 6 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$. If $Tr(A)$ denotes the sum of all diagonal elements of the matrix $A$, then $Tr(A)-Tr(B)$ has value equal to.

Solution
Here's the corrected LaTeX-formatted text:
$A + 2B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ 6 & -3 & 3 \\ -5 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$2A - B = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 5 \\ 2 & -1 & 6 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
$4A - 2B = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -2 & 10 \\ 4 & -2 & 12 \\ 0 & 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$
$5A = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 0 & 10 \\ 10 & -5 & 15 \\ -5 & 5 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$
$A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $2A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 4 \\ 4 & -2 & 6 \\ -2 & 2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
$B = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 4 \\ 4 & -2 & 6 \\ -2 & 2 & 2 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 5 \\ 2 & -1 & 6 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
$B = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 & 0 \\ -2 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{tr}(A) = 1 - 1 + 1 = 1$
$\text{tr}(B) = -1$
$\text{tr}(A) = 1$ and $\text{tr}(B) = -1$
$\text{tr}(A) - \text{tr}(B) = 2$
