<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

One number is \frac{5}{7} and the other number is \frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number and y be the bigger number.

x = x

y = 5x

6x + 3y = 3

6x + (3 * 5x) = 3

6x + 15x = 3

(÷3)

2x + 5x = 1

7x = 1

x = \frac{1}{7}

6x + 3y = 3

6(\frac{1}{7}) + 3y = 3

\frac{6}{7} + 3y = 3

3y = 3 - \frac{6}{7}

3y = \frac{15}{7}

Divide both sides by 3 to get 1y:

y = \frac{5}{7}

So one number is \frac{5}{7} and the other number is \frac{1}{7}

Find the area of the parallelogram whose vertices are given below. ​A(negative 2​,2​) ​B(2​,0​) ​C(10​,3​) ​D(6​,5​)
swat32

Answer: Area of Parallelogram is 28 units squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing, any two vector sides of a parallelogram sharing the same initial point, we can find the area of parallelogram that two vectors are shaping, using the cross product of these two vectors a×b, where the area is given by

Area= |a×b| ___ (1)

From the given points,we may choose any three of them such and find a two vector and expresses the sides of parallelogram " or one side and a diagonal of parallelogram" ,we may choose for example B ,C and D.

Moreover, we may choose point B, to be common point for the two sides " the initial point of two vector" thus we need to find vector BD and vector BC .

Calculations are given in picture.
