There are five more blue blocks than green blocks. Three times the number of green blocks, increased by double the number of blue, equals 95. How many of each colour are there?

22 blue blocks

17 green blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

There are five more blue blocks than green blocks.

So, the number of blue blocks (b) is equal to the number of green blocks (g) plus 5.

Three times the number of green blocks (3g), increased by double the (+2b) number of blue, equals 95.  

The system is  

b = g+5

3g+2b =95

Replacing b=g+5 in the second equation:

3g + 2 (g+5)=95

Solving for g:

3g +2g+10 =95

5g = 95-10

5g=85

g= 85/5

g= 17

Replacing g=17 in the first equation:

b = g+5

b = 17 +5

b=22

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
