Just a footnote to the other solutions you have for this, you can avoid
inject to make it a bit shorter using map (thanks to the way block
argument assignment works with arrays):

ary = [1,2,3,4,5]
# => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

bry = ary.dup
# => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

ary.zip(bry).map! { |a,b| a+b }
# => [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
