![**Problem Statement:**
Find \( w \) such that \( 2\mathbf{u} + \mathbf{v} - 3\mathbf{w} = 0 \).
Given vectors:
\[ \mathbf{u} = (2, 7, 5, 0) \]
\[ \mathbf{v} = (-8, -3, 1, 4) \]
**Solution:**
\[ \mathbf{w} = \]

**Explanation:**
This problem involves finding a vector \(\mathbf{w}\) such that a linear combination of given vectors \(\mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{v}\), with the vector \(\mathbf{w}\), results in the zero vector. The task is to solve for the unknown vector \(\mathbf{w}\). To find \(\mathbf{w}\), you equate components of the given vectors according to the equation \(2\mathbf{u} + \mathbf{v} - 3\mathbf{w} = 0\) and solve for each component of \(\mathbf{w}\).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff821f9aa-4788-41c9-90a4-53f493bbfa90%2F4e76d7e3-34e4-46ea-b772-bb9dffe5333f%2Fn093owr_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
