TopicVectors Introduction & 2D

4 The vectors \(\mathbf { v } _ { 1 }\) and \(\mathbf { v } _ { 2 }\) are defined by \(\mathbf { v } _ { 1 } = 2 \mathrm { a } \mathbf { i } + \mathrm { bj }\) and \(\mathbf { v } _ { 2 } = b \mathbf { i } - 3 \mathbf { j }\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants. Given that \(3 \mathbf { v } _ { 1 } + \mathbf { v } _ { 2 } = 22 \mathbf { i } - 9 \mathbf { j }\), find the values of \(a\) and \(b\).
