You can put this solution on YOUR website!
u+= <16, -8>
v+= <-5,+3>
u+%2B+v+= ?

The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant. The resultant of two vectors can be found using either the parallelogram method or the triangle method .
We can then add vectors by adding the x parts and adding the y+parts:
u+%2B+v = <16%2B%28-5%29, -8%2B3> =<11, -5>
