 ## Linear combinations of non-parallel vectors
 
 If two non-zero vectors $\boldsymbol{a}$ and $\boldsymbol{b}$ are not parallel, then:
 
-$$m\boldsymbol{a} + n\boldsymbol{b} = p \boldsymbol{a} + q \boldsymbol{b}\quad\text{implies}\quad m = p, \> n = q$$
+$$m\boldsymbol{a} + n\boldsymbol{b} = p \boldsymbol{a} + q \boldsymbol{b}\quad \therefore \quad m = p, \> n = q$$
