Question
If $\overrightarrow{\text{a}} = \text{x}\hat{\text{i}} + 2 \hat{\text{j}} - \text{z}\hat{\text{k}}\text{ and } = \overrightarrow{\text{b}} = 3\hat{\text{i}} - \text{y}\hat{\text{j}} + \hat{\text{k}}$ are two equal vectors, then write the value of x + y + z.

Answer

$\because\overrightarrow{\text{a}} = \overrightarrow{\text{b}}$
$\text{x}\hat{\text{i}} + 2\hat{\text{j}} - \text{z}\hat{\text{k}} = 3\hat{\text{i}} - \text{y}\hat{\text{j}} + \hat{\text{k}}$
Equating, we get, x = 3,
$ -\text{y} = 2 \Rightarrow\text{y} = - 2$
$ - \text{z} = 1 \Rightarrow\text{z} = -1$
$\therefore\text{x} + \text{y} +\text{z} = 3-2-1 = 0 .$
