The problem is asking to replace a three-vector situation with a linear combination of only two vectors. The goal is to leave the term involving \( a \cdot \vec{v} \) and find a new vector that can replace the combination \( b\vec{w} + c\vec{u} \). 

Specifically, you need to find a second vector that, when combined with \( a \cdot \vec{v} \), gives the vector:
\[
\vec{V} = \begin{bmatrix} 7.9 \\ 8.7 \end{bmatrix}
\]
This means you are solving for a unique second vector such that the sum of the two vectors equals \( \vec{V} \).

### Step-by-Step Breakdown:
1. Assume that \( \vec{v} \) represents a known vector (from question 3) and \( a \) is a scalar constant.
2. You need to find a vector \( \vec{x} \) (to replace \( b\vec{w} + c\vec{u} \)) so that:
   \[
   a \cdot \vec{v} + \vec{x} = \begin{bmatrix} 7.9 \\ 8.7 \end{bmatrix}
   \]
3. From this, we rearrange the equation:
   \[
   \vec{x} = \begin{bmatrix} 7.9 \\ 8.7 \end{bmatrix} - a \cdot \vec{v}
   \]
4. Once you substitute \( \vec{v} \) and the scalar \( a \), you can calculate \( \vec{x} \).

The rough sketch is also requested, which could visually represent how the vectors add up to form \( \vec{V} \).

Would you like to clarify what the vector \( \vec{v} \) and scalar \( a \) are based on previous questions? Or do you have any further information that can help with the solution?

### Related Questions:
1. What is the vector \( \vec{v} \) mentioned in this question?
2. Can the scalar \( a \) be computed or inferred from earlier problems?
3. How would you graphically represent the two-vector combination and their sum?
4. Could there be a geometric interpretation of finding this unique vector?
5. Does the sketch give any insight into possible solutions?

### Tip:
Always ensure that the new vector satisfies both the magnitude and direction constraints given by the original three-vector combination.

Based on what you found in question 3, is it possible to replace the three-vector situation with a unique linear combination of two vectors? Try leaving a * v alone and finding a unique second vector that could be used instead of b*w + c*u so that when added to a*v it would give the vector [7.9, 8.7]. Provide a rough sketch of your linear combination.

This problem involves replacing a three-vector situation with a linear combination of two vectors. The task is to leave one vector combination untouched and find a second vector that adds up to form the vector [7.9, 8.7].
