Answer: There are 5 grasshoppers, 15 crickets and 20 ladybugs
Step-by-step explanation:
The question in english is:
Jose has found several insects. There are 10 less grasshoppers than crickets. There are 5 less crickets than ladybugs. If Jose has found 5 grasshoppers, how many ladybugs did he find and how many crickets? Write two equations to solve the problem.
Let's tag grasshoppers with 
, crickets with 
and ladybugs with .
So, we are tolde there are 10 less grasshoppers than crickets:
(1) We have the first equation
Then, we are told there are 5 less crickets than ladybugs:
(2) This is the second equation
If 
and we substitute this in both equations we will have:
(3)
Isolating :
(4) There are 15 crickets
Substituting (4) in (2):
(5)
Isolating 
:
There are 20 ladybugs
Therefore:
There are 15 crickets and 20 ladybugs
Answer:
44 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the ages of Michael and Leah is 71 years. 10 years ago, Michael's age was 2 times Leah's age. How old is Michael now?
Let Michael age = x , Leah = y
x+ y = 71 ....... ..(1)
10 year ago
Michael = x -10
Leah = y - 10
Michael = 2×leah
x - 10 = 2(y-10)
x - 10= 2y - 20
x - 2y = -20+10
x - 2y = -10 ...........(2)
x + y = 71 ......... (1)
Solve simultaneously using elimination method, subtract 1 from 2
-2y - y = -10-71
-3y = -81
Divide both sides by -3
y = -81/-3
y =27
x+y = 71
Put y =27
x+27= 71
x = 71 -27
x =44 years
Therefore Michael is 44years

To get a percentage do
x 9
-- = ----
100 100
cross multiply so you get 100x=900 divide by 100 and you get 9 percent
