L has "x -3"
S has "x"
x + x - 3 = 17
2x -3 (+3) = 17 (+3)
2x = 20
2x/2 = 20/2
x = 10
Leona has x - 3, or 10 - 3, or 7 dollars
Skye has 10 dollars
hope this helps

Answer:
3 3/5 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the surface area of the floor of the cage first.
The cage measures 1 yard wide by 6 feet long.
1 yard = 3 feet
The floor of the cage is rectangular, so, the surface area of the floor of the cage is therefore:
3 * 6 = 18 square feet
One bag of shavings covers 5 square feet.
To find the number of bags we need to cover the floor, we divide the surface area of the floor by the number of bags per square feet.
The number of bags needed for the floor of the cage is therefore :
18 / 5 = 3 3/5 bags
