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

What number must be added to 15,-6, and 12 to have a mean of 5? Explain.
Genrish500 [490]

You need to add a -1

We can find this by setting up the equation like so

x + (-6) + 12 + 15 / 4 = 5

x + 21 = 20

x = 20 -21

x = -1

Now if we insert -1 where x is located in the equation, you will get a means of 5
