Smart enough to answer this question? Gracie, Mary, and Nancy each have a small collection of seashells. Gracie has 5 more than

1 1/4 times the number of shells Mary has. Nancy has 1 more than 1 1/2 times the number of shells Mary has. Gracie and Nancy have the same number of shells. If x is the number of shells Mary has, identify the equation that represents this situation and identify its solution. (isnt fraction is one and one fourths, second fraction is 1 and one halfs)

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

Answer:

first

|a+3|/2=1

|a+3|=1*2

|a+3|=2

a=2-3

so,a=-1

second

2|b+1|=6

|b+1|=6/2

|b+1|=3

b=3-1

so,b=2

now,|a+b|

= -1+2

= 1

therefore,|a+b|= 1

What is the greatest common factor of the polynomial's terms?
Alinara [238K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the prime factorization of each term:

9r⁵s = 3² × r⁵ × s

6r⁴s² = 2 × 3 × r⁴ × s²

12r²s = 2² × 3 × r² × s

The greatest common factor will have all the common factors raised to their lowest exponent.

So all three terms have 3, r, and s as factors.  The lowest exponent of 3 is 1.  The lowest exponent of r is 2.  The lowest exponent of s is 1.

GCF = 3 × r² × s

GCF = 3r²s

Factor out the GCF:

9r⁵s + 6r⁴s² − 12r²s

3r²s (3r³ + 2r²s − 4)
