Step 1
Let matrix A and B as:
A=[2351]
B=[1201] Step 2 The summation of matrices:
A+B=[2351]+[1201]
A+B=[3552]
Step 3
Determinant of summation of matrices:
|A+B|=3(2)5(5)=625=19
Step 4
Determinant of matrix A and matrix B
|A|=[2351]=2(1)3(5)=215=13
|B|=[1201]=1(1)2(0)=10=1

Step 5
Hence, it is clear that:
|A+B||A|+|B|
