conversations.value: Can you guide me through solving this problem: Cary is trying to strip the ivy off a tree in her yard. She strips 6 feet of ivy every day, but the ivy grows another 2 feet every night. If the tree is covered by 40 feet of ivy, how many days will it take Cary to strip all the ivy off?

conversations.value: First find the net amount of ivy Cary removes each day by subtracting the ivy's growth from the amount she removes: 6 feet/day - 2 feet/day = 4 feet/day
  Then divide the total feet of ivy by the net amount Cary removes each day to find how many days it takes her to remove all the ivy: 40 feet / 4 feet/day = 10 days
