You can put this solution on YOUR website! a girl has 561 insects. the number of grasshoppers is twice the number of crickets. how many of each type of insect does she have all together
-----
Equations:
g = 2c
g + c = 561
----
Substitute for "g" and solve for "c"::
2c+c = 561
3c = 561
c = 187 (# of crickets)
----
Solve for "g"::
g + c = 561
g = 561-187 = 374 (# of hoppers)
