The class has a lizard and a frog. the lizard eats the same number of insects each day. the frog also eats the same number of insects each day. on day one, the lizard eats fourteen insects and the frog eats ten insects. on day five, the lizard has eaten five times the number of insects he ate on day one. how many insects has the lizard eaten on day five? on what day will the frog have eaten the same number of insects the lizard ate on day five? show all your mathematical thinking.

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.
