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: " 94. 6 ft² ".
_____________________
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
The formula for the area of a trapezoid:
______________________
A = (1/2) * (b1 + b2) * (perpendicular height, "h" ) ;
in which:
______________________
"A = area (in units of ft²) "
"b1 = length of (base one) = 7.7 ft (from diagram) ;
"b2 = length of (base two—the other base) = 14.3 ft. ;
"h = height (perpendicular) = 8.6 ft.
_______________________
To solve for the Area, "A" ; we plug in the known values:
_______________________
A = (1/2) * (b1 + b2) * (perpendicular height, "h" );
= (1/2) * (7.7 ft + 14.3 ft) * (8.6 ft) ;
= (1/2) * (22 ft.) * (8.6 ft) ;
= (11 ft.) * (8.6 ft.) ;
= (11) * (8.6) * (ft.) * (ft.) ;
= (11) * (8.6) * ft² ;
A = " 94. 6 ft² ".

5x^2= 2205
Divide both sides by 5
x^2=441
Find the square root of both sides
x= 21
