First we write it as a difference of vectors, but not necessarily unit vectors. ⟨-7-(-1),5-3,1-(-2)⟩ = ⟨-7+1,2,1+2⟩ = ⟨-6,2,3⟩ = -6i + 2j + 3k Now that is a sum of scalar multiples of unit vectors i, j, and k I have no idea why you would want to write that as a sum of unit vectors. But since that's what you say you want, since i, j, and k are unit vectors, we could write -6i + 2j + 3k as this sum of unit vectors: -i-i-i-i-i-i+j+j+k+k+k but that is very silly. Are you sure that's what you were asked to do? Edwin
