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

♦HURRY PLEASE!!! ♦<br><br> ↓<br> Don't worry about the answer choice that is highlighted : )
givi [52]

Answer:

B: {(3,1), (7,9)}

Step-by-step explanation:

For equation 2x-y=5, we can isolate y, so it's easier to solve later:

y = 2x - 5

y = (x - 4)^2

Now, notice that both equations are equal to y, so we can set them equal to each other:

(x-4)^2 = 2x-5

x^2-8x+16 = 2x - 5

x^2-10x+21=0

Now, we can factorize by finding 2 numbers that multiply to 21 and add up to -10:

(x-3)(x-7)=0

x=3 or x=7

Since B is the only one with the x values of 3 and 7, the answer must be B.

But to further check our answer, we can plug x back to any of the equations above to check for y:

(3-4)^2 = 1

(7-4)^2 = 9

Therefore, we can confirm that the answer is B.
