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

10x^3 y^-5 z^-2 if x=3 y=2 and z=5 express your answer as a reduced fraction
sineoko [7]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\dfrac{27}{80}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x = 3, y = 2 and z = 5 to the given expression 10x^3y^{-5}z^{-2}:

10(3^3)(2^{-5})(5^{-2})\qquad\text{use}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\\\=\dfrac{10(27)}{(2^5)(5^2)}=\dfrac{270}{(32)(25)}=\dfrac{270}{800}=\dfrac{27}{80}
