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

<span>10x-5y=25 solve for y
so
10x - 5y = 25
5y = 10x - 25
y = 2x - 5
hope it helps</span>
12(2+7)
12 is the GCF for 24 with 12 x2 =24 and 12 is the GCF for 84 with 12 x7= 84.
