Vectors

A {{}} vector is the single vector that produces the same effect as a combination of other vectors. 

Given $$\mathbf a = {2 \choose 3}$$ and $$\mathbf b = {-1 \choose 2}$$, find $$4\mathbf a - 2 \mathbf b$$

Given that $$ x\choose 8$$ is parallel to $$ 15 \choose 12$$, then $$x =$$ {{}}

$$ a {3\choose -2} + 4{ 3 \choose b} = {3\choose 14}$$. The value of $$b$$ is {{}}

Given that $$a {2\choose 1} + b{ 4 \choose4}= {16 \choose 14}$$, find the value of $$a + b$$. $$a+b=$${{}}.

$$\mathbf a = {2\choose -3}$$ and $$\mathbf b = {-2 \choose y}$$. Given that $$3 \mathbf a - 2 \mathbf b$$ is parallel to $$30 \choose -51$$, the value of $$y$$ is {{ }}.
