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

Write using exponential notation?<br> 5.5.2.2.2.2
inna [77]

Answer:

5 ^{2}  \times 2^{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying 5 by itself is the same thing as raising it to the second power:

5 \times 5 = {5}^{2}  = 25

We multiply 2 by itself two seperate times. That's the same thing as raising 2 to the second power to the second power or in simpler terms raising two to the fourth power:

2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = {({2}^{2})}^{2}  =  {2}^{4}  = 16

Since only multiplication is present, we can combine the two terms to get:

5^{2}  \times  {2}^{4}
