Answer

$\vec A=(-49.9m)\hat x$ $\vec B=(1.5m)\hat x$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required vectors as follows: $\vec A+\vec B+\vec C+(\vec A-\vec B)+(-\vec C)=(13.8)m\hat x+(-51.4m)\hat x+(-62.2m)\hat x$ $\implies 2\vec A=(-99.8m)\hat x$ $\implies \vec A=(-49.9m)\hat x$ Now we can find the vector B as $\vec A-\vec B=(-51.4m)\hat x$ $(-49.9m)\hat x-\vec B=(-51.4m)\hat x$ $\vec B=(1.5m)\hat x$
