The substraction of a matrix b may be considered as the addition of the matrix (-1)b. dose the commutative law of addition permit us to atate that a - b = b - a? if not, how would you correct the statement?

 The corrected statement is A - B = -B + A.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the subtraction of a matrix B may be considered as the addition of the matrix (-1)B.

We are given to check whether the commutative law of addition permit us to state that A - B = B - A.

If not, We are to correct the statement.

If the subtraction A - B is considered a the addition A + (-B), then the commutative law should be stated as follows :

A + (-B) = (-B) + A.

That is, A - B = -B + A.

Thus, the corrected statement is A - B = -B + A, not B - A.

b, i believe, but not sure.
