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

The line is 180 degrees in total so your equation would be-
X-6 + 8x + 24 = 180
9x + 18 = 180
9x = 162
Answer is: x = 18

Solve for x. use the completing the square method.<br><br>x^2+8x=5
jok3333 [9.3K]
x^2+8x=5

x^2+8x + ( \frac{8}{2} )^2 =5 +  (\frac{8}{2} )^2

x^2+8x + (4)^2 =5 +  (4)^2

(x+ 4)^2 =21

x+ 4 = \pm \sqrt{21}

x = \sqrt{21} - 4 \ or \ x=  -\sqrt{21} - 4

x = 0.58 \ or \ x= -8.58

____× 105 is 3,000 times greater than 2.3 × 102 and is _____ times greater than 1.38 × 101.
musickatia [10]
For this case we must calculate the values of the unknowns.
 We have then:
 x * 10 ^ 5 is 3,000 times greater than2.3 * 10 ^ 2
 We have the following equation:
 (x * 10 ^ 5) / (2.3 * 10 ^ 2) = 3000&#10;
 From here, we clear the value of x:
 x = (10 ^ 2/10 ^ 5) * (2.3 * 3000)&#10;&#10;x = 6.9
 Then, on the other hand we have:
 "and is _____ times greater than 1.38 × 101"
 That is, we have the following equation:
 (6.9 * 10 ^ 5) / (1.38 * 10 ^ 1) = y&#10;
 The value of y is:
 y = 50000&#10;
 Answer:
 
6.9 × 105 is 3,000 times greater than 2.3 × 102 and is 50000 times greater than 1.38 × 101.
