Answer

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