Quentin, Skylar, and Colten have a total of 383 chickens. Quentin has 25 more than double the chickens that Skylar has. Skylar has 4 less than triple the number of chickens that Colten has. How many chickens does Colten have?
Use reasoning to answer the following question.
37
Let x represent the number of chickens that Colten has.

Skylar:3x - 4.

Quentin: 25 + 2(3x - 4) = 25 + 6x - 8 = 6x + 17.

Total:x + 3x - 4 + (6x + 17) = 383.

10x + 13 = 383.

10x = 370.

x = 37 chickens.

.

Thus, the answer is 37
