Answer

\begin{align*} U+V&=2j\\ U-V&=-2i\\ 3U+2V&=-i+5j. \end{align*}

Work Step by Step

We have $U=-i+j, V=i+j.$ First find $U+V$, \begin{align*} U+V&=(-i+j)+(i+j)\\ &=-i+j+i+j\\ &=2j. \end{align*} Hence, $U+V=2j.$ Then find $U-V$, \begin{align*} U-V&=(-i+j)-(i+j)\\ &=-i+j-i-j\\ &=-2i. \end{align*} Hence, $U-V=2i.$ In the end find, \begin{align*} 3U+2V&=3(-i+j)+2(i+j)\\ &=(-3i+3j)+(2i+2j)\\ &=-3i+3j+2i+2j\\ &=-i+5j. \end{align*}
