It's simple algebra, though that is tough for a six year old... 2nd jar has x bugs 1st jar has x+7 bugs 3rd jar has x-3 bugs All three added together totals 40, so... x+7 +x +x-3 = 40 3x = 36 x = 12 x + 7 = 19 This is the best and easiest way to calculate it. But if you don't know how to do that, since its such small numbers, you can just start with a guess and use trial and error and get it in like 2 minutes. <cite>fettster777 posted [p:885429028] in Can you so...
