<span>7x + 16 < -20 + 25x multiply the right-hand side by 5
16 < -20 + 18x combine like terms on right hand side: 25x - 7x = 18x
36 < 18x combine like terms on left hand side: 16 + 20 = 36
2 divide by 18: 36/18 = 2</span>
Answer:
30 leaves
Step-by-step explanation:
if it takes 5 leaves to feed 2 caterpillars, and there are 6 times as many caterpillars(2*6) then just multiply the number of leaves by 6.
Which would equal 30 leaves
Yes because if you check with your math (or a calculator) 365 times 8 is 2,920. Therefore, Isaac's answer is reasonable. Another way you can maybe do it is round 365 days to 370 and 8 to 10 and then multiply. 370 times 10 is 3,700. Since 2,920 is close to 3,700, then the answer is reasonable.
