Answer 1

7 red shirts

6 green shirts

11 blue shirts

4 yellow shirts

Explanation:

Let y represent the number of green shirts.

So y+5 is the number of blue shirts.

And y-2 is the number of yellow shirts.

And we have 5 red shirts.

Therefore,

7+5+y+y-2+y=28

12-2+3y=28

10+3y=28

3y=28-10

3y=18,divde through by 3

y=6
