Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the frog is sticking to the wall; he effectively jumps 1 foot every time he jumps. (+2–1=1). If the well is ten feet deep and we are assuming the frog is jumping from the 10 ft mark, every jump gains him 1 foot up. We can also assume that he doesn’t lose that foot on the final jump. since he will be ‘out’ of the well. So, 9 jumps to free himself. (Do it by landing spots; Jump 1, 9 ft, 2, 8ft, so on….)

Hope it helps :)
