C - 10 = g
L - 5 = C

g = 5

then altogether he finds

40 bugs

Let the number of grasshoppers be g

As we have: Jeff finds 10 Fewer grasshoppers than crickets.

So Number of cricket (C ) can be given by

C=g+10......(i)

Jeff finds 5 fewer crickets than Lady bugs.

Let the number of lady bugs be l then, we can write

l=C+5....(ii)

we are given g=5, substitute this in equation (i), we get

C=5+10\\ \\ C=15\\

Now substitute this value of C in equation (ii), we get

l=15+5\\ \\ l=20\\

Hence number of crickets =15

Use substitution to solve each system of equations.<br> y = 5x -2<br> 3 x- 5y =4
Nezavi [6.7K]
  • x = 3/11
  • y = -7/11

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x - 2…Equation 1

3x - 5y = 4…Equation 2

Subtitute value of y to Equation 2 :

3x - 5(5x - 2) = 4

3x - 25x + 10 = 4

-22x + 10 = 4

10 - 4 = 22x

6 = 22x

6/22 = x

<u>3/11 = </u><u>x</u>

Subtitute value of x to one of Equation :

for example Equation 2…

3x - 5y = 4

3(3/11) - 5y = 4

9/11 - 5y = 4

9/11 - 4 = 5y

(9 - 44)/11 = 5y

(-35)/11 = 5y

(-35)/11 × 1/5 = y

<u>-7/11 = y</u>

A wire of length 240 inches is cut into 2 equals pieces. Each piece of wire is then bent into forming an equilateral triangle an
Tamiku [17]
240 inches cut into 2 equal pieces is just taking half of the wire.
Making the two pieces of wire 120 inches. 
If you bend one 120 inch wire into a square, that means that each side equals 30 inches. (A square has 4 sides. 120/4 = 30)
An area of a square is length times width, which the length equals 30 and width equal to thirty. 30 * 30 = 900. square inches. 
120 wire bent into a triangle makes each side equal to 40. 120/3=40. The area of an equilateral triangle is height times width. The width is just one of the sides (40 inches) but the height needs some geometry. To find the height you need to use either 30 times sin(60) or 30 times cos(30), both are equal. To be clear, I will leave the height as 30sin(60). The area will be equal to 40*30sin(60)
which can be simply written as 1200sin(60). 
So the sum of both areas is (1200sin(60)+900)

You have 6 large candy bars. You want to split each one into thirds. How many candy bar pieces will you then have?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

18\ pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Divide each large candy bar into thirds

so

\frac{1}{3}

Now for each large candy bar you have 3 pieces of \frac{1}{3}

step 2

Find the total number of candy bars pieces by proportion

\frac{1}{3}\frac{bar}{pieces} =\frac{6}{x}\frac{bar}{pieces}\\ \\x=6*3\\ \\x=18\ pieces

If positive integer number n has exactly 8 divisors, what is the least number of divisors can n^2 have?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The simpler case is the number:

n = a^7, where a is prime.

We use this so we avoid having cross numbers by multipliying different prime numbers. because for example lets compare:

2^2 = 4 has 3 divisors, 4, 2 and 1.

(4*4) = 16 has the divisors: 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. (5 divisors).

Now let's mix primes:

2*3 = 6 has 3 divisors, 3, 2 and 1.

6*6 = 36

(3*2*1)*(3*2*1) = 36

then the divisors are:

3*3, 3*2, 3*1, 2*2, 2*1, 1*1, 3*2*2, ..., etc.

You can clearly see that this has a lot more divisors than the previous case.

Then returning to the answer:

a^7 can be divided by a, a^2, a^3, ..., and by itself, a^7 (and 1, so we have exactly 8 divisors).

Now, we can write:

n^2 = (a^7)^2 = (a^(2*7)) = a^14.

By the same logic that was used above, a^14 has 14 + 1 divisors.

Then the smallest number of divisors possible is 15.
