Answer:

g = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

  • wrapped candy = w
  • lollipop = l
  • green candy = g

The equations are :

  1. w + w + l = 23
  2. l + l + 2l = 36
  3. w x w + g x g = 58
  4. w + w - g x l = 2

Finding l

  • Using Equation 2, solve for the value of l
  • 4l = 36
  • l = 36/4
  • l = 9

Finding w

  • Using Equation 1, solve for the value of w
  • 2w + l = 23
  • 2w + 9 = 23
  • 2w = 14
  • w = 14/2
  • w = 7

Finding g

  • Using either equation 3 or 4, we can find g
  • Let's go with equation 3
  • w² + g² = 58
  • 49 + g² = 58
  • g² = 9
  • g = 3
