Jeff finds some bugs. he finds 10 fewer grasshoppers than crickest. he finds 5 fewer crickets than ladybugs. if jeff finds 5 grasshoppers, how ladybugs does jeff find? how many crickets does he find? write two equations to solve the problem.

Firstly, let’s name grasshoppers with G, crickets with C and lady bugs with L.

According to the information given:

The amount of grasshoppers Jeff finds is 5:

G=5

He finds 10 fewer grasshoppers than crickets, which is represented by equation (1):

C=G+10     (1)

C=5+10

C=15 >>>>This is the amount of crickets

He finds 5 fewer crickets than ladybugs, which is represented by equation (2):

L=C+5     (2)

If we substitute the value of crickets C found above, we have:

L=15+5

L=20>>>>This is the amount of Lady bugs

Therefore the answer is:

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

identity property is where 0+whatever number=whatever number. basically 0+ a number.
