Think of these like coordinates, but instead think in vectors. So for A - B, you would set it up as {6-5, 7-8, 8-9} and simplifying gives you {1,-1,-1}

And for B-A, you set it up as {5-6,8-7,9-8}, giving you {-1,1,1}

Final solutions

A: {1,-1,-1}

B: {-1,1,1}

Think of it like this:

A:{x₁,y₁,z₁} B:{x₂,y₂,z₂}

B - A : {x₂-x₁,y₂-y₁,z₂-z₁}

A - B: {x₁-x₂,y₁-y₂,z₁-z₂}

A - B: (6, 7, 8)

- (5, 8, 9)

(1, -1, -1)

B - A: (5, 8, 9)

- (6, 7, 8)

(-1, 1, 1)

Answers: A - B = (1, -1, -1), B - A = (-1, 1, 1)
