Answer: 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of marbles in jar = 32
Let blue marbles be represented by b.
Since there are three times as many green marbles as blue. This means that green will be = 3 × b = 3b
We then add them together. This will be:
3b + b = 32
4b = 32
b = 32/4
b = 8
There are 8 blue marbles
Since green is 3× blue. Therefore,
Green = 8 × 3 = 24 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:
So find the difference between 1995 and 2022 to make it easier
2022-1995=27
so the rephrased question is
when hazel was x years old, she was 25 years older than son gary who was y old at that time (equation is x is 25 more than y or x=25+y)
in 27 years, (this means x+27 and y+27) hazel's age will be 150% of gary's age (x+27= 150% of y+27)
percent means parts out of 100 so 150%=150/100=15/10=1.5
'of' in math means multiply so
the equations are
x=25+y
x+27=1.5(y+27)
subsitute 25+y for x in second euation
25+y+27=1.5(y+27)
add like terms
y+52=1.5(y+27)
I personally dislike decimals to multiply both sides by 2 to make 2 0.5's or 1 (you are technically supposed to distribute or divide both sides by 1.5) so
2y+104=3(y+27)
distribute
2y+104=3y+81
subtract 2y from both sides
104=y+81
subtract 81 from both sides
23=y
subsitute
x=25+y
x=25+23
x=48
Hazel was 48 and Gary was 23 in the year of 1995
