    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
