Answer

$12$

Work Step by Step

Find the scalar, $\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{v}+\mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{w}$ as, $\begin{align} & \mathbf{v}\cdot \mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}\cdot \mathbf{w=}\left( 3\mathbf{i+j} \right)\cdot \left( 2\mathbf{i-j} \right)+\left( 3\mathbf{i+j} \right)\cdot \left( \mathbf{i+}4\mathbf{j} \right) \\ & =3\cdot 2+1\cdot \left( -1 \right)+3\cdot 1+1\cdot 4 \\ & =6-1+3+4 \\ & =12 \end{align}$ Hence, the scalar of $\mathbf{v}\cdot \mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}\cdot \mathbf{w}$ is $12$.
