See the solution below

Explanation:

I will use a very simple concept to solve your problem
Suppose you have north direction and south direction can you add them
Vectors are not only Defined by their magnitude but are also Defined by the direction
So definitely you cannot add vectors algebraically unless they are in the same direction or in the opposite direction of each other
Hope this answer helps 😁
