Two vectors can be combined by adding their corresponding components
together.
i.e. (vx, vy, vz) +
(wx, wy, wz) is
(vx+wx, vy+wy, vz+wz
).
Or, written more expansively:
| vx | | wx | | vx + wx | | vy | + | wy | = | vy + wy | | vz | | wz | | vz + wz |
The result is a vector that is equivalent to sticking the vector W onto the end of vector V, and creating a new vector from the beginning of V to the end of W.
