Question
**Problem Statement:**

Given the following vectors:

- \( \mathbf{A} = 15.0 \, \text{m} \) at \( 40.0^\circ \) counterclockwise from the \( +y\)-axis,
- \( \mathbf{B} = 20.0 \, \text{m} \) at \( 15.0^\circ \) clockwise from the \(-y\)-axis,
- \( \mathbf{C} = 5.00 \, \text{m} \) at \( 25.0^\circ \) counterclockwise from the \( -y\)-axis.

If \( \mathbf{R} = 2\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B} - 3\mathbf{C} \), then:

(a) Graphically find \( \mathbf{R} \) and calculate \( \mathbf{R} \) in both
(b) unit–vector notation and 
(c) as a magnitude and direction measured relative to the \( +x\)-axis.
