Answer

\begin{align*} U+V&=7i+7j.\\ U-V&=-3i+3j.\\ 3U+2V&=16i+19j. \end{align*}

Work Step by Step

We have $U=2i+5j, V=5i+2j.$ First find $U+V$, \begin{align*} U+V&=(2i+5j)+(5i+2j)\\ &=2i+5i+5j+2j\\ &=7i+7j. \end{align*} Hence, $U+V=7i+7j.$ Then find $U-V$, \begin{align*} U-V&=(2i+5j)-(5i+2j)\\ &=2i-5i+5j-2j\\ &=-3i+3j. \end{align*} Hence, $U-V=-3i+3j.$ In the end find, \begin{align*} 3U+2V&=3(2i+5j)+2(5i+2j)\\ &=6i+15j+10i+4j\\ &=16i+19j. \end{align*}
