<span>Let's look at the information that you do have. y = yellow g = green
g + y = 38 </span><span>g = 38 - y
If there are 14 green skittles,then we know that: </span>14 + y = 38 14 = 38 - y<span> so, we can then do the equation: 38 - 14 = y 38 - 14 = 24 y = 24 </span> So, the answer is 24 green skittles.
