Let r, g and b represent red, green and blue.
r+g+b = 74
r=g-1
b=r+g
Again, r+g+b = 74. Let's substitutte r+g for b: r+g+(r+g) = 74.
Next, let's eliminate r. Use r=g-1. Then g-1 + g + g-1 + g = 74
Combining the g terms, 4g - 2 = 74 => 4g = 76 => g = 19
Recall that r=g-1
and
b=r+g
Find r. If r=g-1, and g=19, then r = 19-1=18
Find b: b = r+g = 18+19=37
So there are 37 blue candies, 18 red candies and 19 green candies.
Check: 37+18+19=74 ??? Yes.

Answer:
an infinite number of solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
−3x −17 = −17 −3x
left side = right side TRUE because -3x-17 is the same as -17-3x
we can rearrange the the equation
−3x −17 +17 = −17 +17−3x, add 17 on both sides of the equations
-3x = -3x, divide both sides by (-3)
x = x
Since this equation is <u>always true ( for any number ) </u>we have <u>an infinite number of solutions</u> (since there are is an infinity of numbers.)
You can find the approximate value of h in this the same way you could with an algebraic expression.
h - 3 < 5
+3
h < 8
