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

U-8.1 = 6.35 what does u=
Nesterboy [21]
Since U is being subtracted by 8.1, we can assume that if we added 8.1 to both sides, it should equal U

U - 8.1 = 6.35      
              To make it equal to U, we have to add 8.1 to both sides

The answer is,

U = 14.45
