If \bar{a},\bar{b}\, be two given vectors,show that the vector equation \bar{x}+\bar{a}=\bar{b}\, has a unique solution \bar{x}=\bar{b}-\bar{a}\,

Let \bar{c}=a\bar{a}+y\bar{b}\, where x and y are scalars.

8\bar{i}+9\bar{k}=x(2\bar{i}+\bar{k})+y(3\bar{i}+4\bar{k})\,

(2x+3y)\bar{i}+(x+4y)\bar{k}\,

2x+3y=8,x+4y=9\,

Solving these two equations,we get x=1,y=2\,

Therefore \bar{c}\, as a linear combination of \bar{a},\bar{b}\, is \bar{c}=\bar{a}+\bar{b}\,
