The Rodriquez family is donating

25 baseball caps to a charity auction.

There are 11 blue caps. There are

2 more white caps than green caps.

How many of each color caps are

they donating?

Subtract the blue caps:

25-11 = 14 caps are either white or green.

Let green = X

white = X + 2

Green + white = 14:

x + x + 2 = 14

Combine like terms:

2x + 2 = 14

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 6

There are 11 blue caps, 6 green caps and 8 white caps.
