Answer

\begin{align*} U+V&=(-1,9)\\ U-V&=(3,-1)\\ 2U-3V&=(8,-7). \end{align*}

Work Step by Step

We have $U=\langle 1,4\rangle, V=\langle -2,5\rangle.$ First find $U+V$, \begin{align*} U+V&=(1,4)+(-2,5)\\ &=(1+(-2),4+5)\\ &=(-1,9). \end{align*} Hence, $U+V=(-1,9).$ Then find $U-V$, \begin{align*} U-V&=(1,4)-(-2,5)\\ &=(1-(-2),4-5)\\ &=(3,-1). \end{align*} Hence, $U-V=(3,-1).$ In the end find, \begin{align*} 2U-3V&=2(1,4)-3(-2,5)\\ &=(2,8)-(-6,15)\\ &=(2-(-6),8-15)\\ &=(8,-7). \end{align*}
