To find $\mathbf { w } = 3 \mathbf { u } + 5 \mathbf { v }$, we first multiply each vector by its scalar: $3\mathbf{u} = 3(-3\mathbf{i} + 6\mathbf{j}) = -9\mathbf{i} + 18\mathbf{j}$ and $5\mathbf{v} = 5(-6\mathbf{i} + 5\mathbf{j}) = -30\mathbf{i} + 25\mathbf{j}$. Adding these results gives $\mathbf{w} = -9\mathbf{i} + 18\mathbf{j} - 30\mathbf{i} + 25\mathbf{j} = -39\mathbf{i} + 43\mathbf{j}$.
