We are on an asteroid with thrusters pointed in 4 directions; Go Left, GO Right, Go Up, and Go Down. We start at coordinate (3,3). We simultaneously fire all 4 thrusters. Go Left 3N, Go Right 4N, Go Up 2N, and Go Down 5N. Which 2 thrusters at what force could we have fired and achieved the same result?

K we start at (3,3) and then after all 4 thrusters are fired, we end up at (4,0)

If we fire the Right thruster 1N and the Down thruster 3N, we will achieve the same result.

Hope that helps ya!!!
