Jeff finds some bugs .he finds 10 fewer grasshopper than cricket. he finds 5 fewer cricketsthan lady bug. if jeff finds 5 grasshoppers how many ladybugs does jeff find? how many crickets does he find? write two equations to solve the problem

15 crickets; 20 ladybugs

C = G + 10

L= C+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Crickets = C

Ladybugs = L

Grasshoppers = G

We know he found 5 grasshoppers, so:

C = G + 10  --> because he found 10 more crickets than grasshoppers

if we plug in 5 for G (grasshoppers), we can solve for C (crickets):

C= 5+10

15 Crickets

Now that we know he found 15 crickets we can make our second equation:

L= C+5  --> because he found 5 more ladybugs than crickets

if we plug in 15 C (crickets), we can solve for L (ladybugs):

L= 15+5

20 Ladybugs
