Just put a line in-between them to make a fraction.
 
        
             
        
        
        
the assumption being that the first machine is the one on the left-hand-side and the second is the one on the right-hand-side.
the input goes to the 1st machine and the output of that goes to the 2nd machine.
a)
if she uses and input of 6 on the 2nd one, the result will be 6² - 6  = 30, if we feed that to the 1st one the result will be √( 30 - 5) = √25 = 5, so, simply having the machines swap places will work to get a final output of 5.
b)
clearly we can never get an output  of -5 from a square root, however we can from the quadratic one, the 2nd machine/equation.
let's check something, we need a -5 on the 2nd, so

so if we use a "1" as the output on the first machine, we should be able to find out what input we need, let's do that.

so if we use an input of 6 on the first machine, we should be able to get a -5 as final output from the 2nd machine.

 
        
             
        
        
        
The fraction indicating the number of students who are not wearing either blue or white shirt is:
1- 1/6- 2/3= 1/6.
36 students* (1/6)= 6 students.
There are 6 students who are not wearing either a blue or a white shirt.
Hope this helps~
