The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \vec{P} + \vec{Q} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} \) and determine when it holds true, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Start with the given equation**: \[ \vec{P} + \vec{Q} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} \] 2. **Rearrange the equation**: To isolate the terms involving \( \vec{Q} \), we can subtract \( \vec{P} \) from both sides: \[ \vec{Q} = -\vec{Q} \] 3. **Combine like terms**: Now, add \( \vec{Q} \) to both sides: \[ \vec{Q} + \vec{Q} = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2\vec{Q} = 0 \] 4. **Solve for \( \vec{Q} \)**: Divide both sides by 2: \[ \vec{Q} = 0 \] ### Conclusion: The equation \( \vec{P} + \vec{Q} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} \) holds true when \( \vec{Q} \) is the zero vector.
