To find $cA + dB$, multiply each element of matrix $A$ by $c$ and each element of matrix $B$ by $d$, then add the corresponding elements. For $cA$, multiply each element of $A$ by $8$, and for $dB$, multiply each element of $B$ by $-3$. The correct calculation leads to the matrix in option C.

Given And d=−3d = - 3d=−3 , Determine cA+dBc A + d BcA+dB

Given And $d = - 3$ , Determine $c A + d B$
