Answer: green shirts = 6
Blue shirts = 11
Yellow shirts = 4
Red shirts = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Red shirts = 7
Let green shirts be x.
There are 5 more blue shirts than green shirts. This means:
Blue shirts = x + 5
There are 2 fewer yellow shirts than green shirts. This means:
Yellow shirts = x - 2
There are 28 shirts in total
Red + blue + yellow + green = 28
7 + (x + 5) + (x - 2) + x = 28
7 + x + 5 + x - 2 + x = 28
10 + 3x = 28
3x = 28 - 10
3x = 18
x = 18/3
x = 6
There are 6 green shirts
Blue shirts = x + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11
Yellow shirts = x - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4
Red shirts = 7
