Vectors a\mathbf{a} and b\mathbf{b} satisfy the simultaneous vector equations a−b=(1,−2,3)\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{b}=(1,-2,3) and 3a+2b=(7,−4,5)3\mathbf{a}+2\mathbf{b}=(7,-4,5). What is a\mathbf{a}? a) (75,−45,1)\left(\dfrac{7}{5},-\dfrac{4}{5},1\right) b) (115,−85,95)\left(\dfrac{11}{5},-\dfrac{8}{5},\dfrac{9}{5}\right) c) (95,−85,115)\left(\dfrac{9}{5},-\dfrac{8}{5},\dfrac{11}{5}\right) d) (45,25,−45)\left(\dfrac{4}{5},\dfrac{2}{5},-\dfrac{4}{5}\right)
