are linearly independent, so it is sufficient for you to compare coefficients of these vectors between both sides and hence solve for 
simultaneously.

, is to observe how the coefficients of in 
are related (they are just numbers, so the observation should be simple) and impose the same condition on 
when written in a similar form.I.e.
note that the coefficient of
is exactly -1/2 lots of the coefficient of 
.Impose the same condition on the vector
.Is it clear?

A simpler approach, without ever needing to even introduce, is to observe how the coefficients of in are related (they are just numbers, so the observation should be simple) and impose the same condition on when written in a similar form.

and must be parallel AND go in the same direction, in order to constitute one straight line 
.What makes to vectors parallel? You could say one vector being a multiple of the other, but in a more fundamental level, it's when you spot a multiplicative relationship between the
components. You can think of this multiplicative relationship as the ratio between the two components. Any parallel vector must preserve it.E.g. if
, then the 
component is -2 lots of the 
component. This property will not change when you scale the vector .
is parallel to but it's 
and the property discussed above still holds true.

and the property above still holds true.Thus, in this question it is much simpler to exploit the property relating the coefficients of
rather than introduce a new variable .Clear now?
