If these represent distances in meters, the

new (resultant) vector could be written as
5 m W
5 m E
11 m W
11 m E

The new (resultant) vector could be written as 0 m, since the vectors cancel each other out. The vector going 5 m West is cancelled out by the vector going 5 m East, and the vector going 11 m West is cancelled out by the vector going 11 m East. This means that the final result is a vector with a magnitude of 0 and no direction.
