Given:
The two vectors are:
To find:
The value of 
.
Solution:
We have,
The cross product of these two vectors is:
![\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}=\hat{i}[(-1)(5)-(1)(-3)]-\hat{j}[(2)(5)-(1)(1)]+\hat{k}[(2)(-3)-(-1)(1)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Coverrightarrow%7Ba%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Coverrightarrow%7Bb%7D%3D%5Chat%7Bi%7D%5B%28-1%29%285%29-%281%29%28-3%29%5D-%5Chat%7Bj%7D%5B%282%29%285%29-%281%29%281%29%5D%2B%5Chat%7Bk%7D%5B%282%29%28-3%29-%28-1%29%281%29%5D)
![\overrightarrow{a}\times \overrightarrow{b}=\hat{i}[-5+3]-\hat{j}[10-1]+\hat{k}[-6+1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Coverrightarrow%7Ba%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Coverrightarrow%7Bb%7D%3D%5Chat%7Bi%7D%5B-5%2B3%5D-%5Chat%7Bj%7D%5B10-1%5D%2B%5Chat%7Bk%7D%5B-6%2B1%5D)
Now the magnitude of the cross product is:
Therefore, the value of is 
.
"The quotient of a number and 3 less than twice the number" would translate to the expression x/(2x-3)
Basically we have x up top the fraction and 2x-3 in the bottom denominator of the fraction. The slash / means divide
Hello!
First, you set up a proportion : quilts / yards = 9 / 18 = 10 / x
Then, you solve for x.
x = 20
Hope this helps! If you have any further concerns, feel free to let me know!
The least common multiple of 6 and 9 are 18
