<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}

gracie and mary and nancy each have a small collection of seashells gracie has 5 more than 1 and 1/4 times the number of shells
Fiesta28 [93]
X = mary's shells
g = 1 1/4x + 5
n = 1 1/2x+ 1
g = n

1 1/4x + 5 = 1 1/2x + 1
5/4x + 5 = 3/2x + 1...multiply by common denominator of 4, this will get rid of fractions...however, this is optional...u can work with fractions if u wish.
5x + 20 = 6x + 4
5x - 6x = 4 - 20
-x = - 16
x = 16....so Mary has 16 shells
