When AC voltage sources are in series, the total voltage of the sources is equal to the sum of the voltages of the sources. Since AC voltages consist of a voltage magnitude and a phase angle, the voltage values need to be added as vectors (or phasors). In this video, I'll show you how to do that.
This example comes from an open source textbook and you can find that example in the chapter here:

You can also see how to solve this example using LTSpice here: youtu.be/ILfT52fnT4w
