By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities).
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
where
is its direction with respect to the x-axis.

Correct choices are marked in bold:
travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces
travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, )
travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum
travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter
can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits
move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved
move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
