    To multiply a matrix by a number, multiply each entry in the matrix by that number:
    [math]a\begin{bmatrix}p & q \\ r & s \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}ap & aq \\ ar & as \end{bmatrix}[/math].

    To add two matrices, add the corresponding entries:
    [math]\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatri}+ \begin{bmatrix} p &

    (1) Follow the definition of scalar multiplication: multiply every element of matrix A by 2.

    (2) Follow the definition of scalar multiplication: multiply every element of matrix A by 1/2. Then follow the definition of matrix addition: add corresponding elements of B and (1/2)A.
