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

PLZ HELP IN A RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Her new balance = - 92.34

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out what the check did.

She had $63.44 in her account. Her check caused her to be in the whole

63.44 - 186.56 = -123.12

Now she deposited 1/4 of that amount.

- 123.12 + (1/4)(123.12) = - 123.12 + 30.78

Her new balance = - 92.34

HELP!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST

<t =33 since triangle  RUT is isosceles  (RU = TU)

<r + <u + <t = 180  triangle = 180

33 + <u + 33 = 180

66 + <u = 180

< u =114

<rus = < sut  from the diagram

<rus + <sut = <u

x + x = 114

2x = 114

divide by 2

x = 57
