Using the properties of the vectors, we obtain
a+b=<5+(3),12+(6)>
=<2,18>
2a+3b=<25, 2(12)>+<3(3),3(6)>
=<10,24>+<9,18>
<10+(9),24+(18)>
=<1,42>
The length of the vector a is
|a|=52+(12)2
=25+144
=169
=13
Determine the vector as the difference between the vectors a and b, and then determine length of it
ab=<5(3),12(6)>
=<8,6>
Hence,
|ab|=|<8,6>|
=82+(6)2
=64+36
=100
=10
