Hopefully you are able to clearly see the steps I have taken toward solving this problem in the attachment. In case you have trouble understanding what a reciprocal is, the reciprocal of a number is simply the number flipped. So, if you are given 1/2 and asked what the reciprocal is, it would be 2/1, or just 2. That being said, if you are given a whole number, simply remember that a whole number is ALWAYS equal to itself over one. So, in this case, the "sum of a number and its reciprocal" would be n + 1/n

If Jeff has 5 grasshoppers, then he would have 15 crickets because x(grasshoppers)+10=y(crickets), and y(crickets)+5=z(ladybugs), which would leave Jeff with 20 ladybugs.

Can you explain how to solve this problem, already know the answer

So, the slope is -3/5, and the y axis is unidentified.

A point is located at (6,-5). We will use this point.

In order to get the y-axis, we will use 5 from the slope because the denominator allows us to move left and right.

We will also use 6 from the point to give us a dot in the x-coordinate.

We will then divide 5 from the 6 to give us how much we have to go up or down

6/5

We will then use the -3 in the slope.

We will times -3 to the 6/5 in order to know how much we have go up or down.

-18/5 + 5 (from the point)((and since we are moving back, we will add a negative) (My problem))= 1 2/5 (y-intercept)

y = -3/5x + 1 2/5

The y = 13, we will plug it in the equation.

13 = -3/5x + 1 2/5 (subtract 1 2/5 on both sides)

11 3/5 = -3/5x (times 5 on both sides)

-3x = 58 (divide -3 on both sides)

x = -58/3
