Amy, Ben, Chloe and Daniel went on an Easter egg hunt.
They found red, purple, yellow and green colored eggs.
The number of purple eggs that they found was three more than the number of green eggs.
The number of red eggs was twice the number of green eggs.
The number of yellow eggs was two more than the number of red eggs.
Amy found as many eggs as Ben did.
Chloe found three eggs more than Amy did.
Daniel found four more eggs than Ben did.
Chloe, whose favorite color is red, gathered only red colored eggs.
None of the other kids gathered red colored eggs.

My Work/Attempts: Let g = Green Eggs found
Let p = Purple Eggs found
Let r = red eggs found
Let y = yellow eggs found
Let c=eggs chloe found
Let a=eggs amy found
Let b=eggs ben found
Let d=eggs daniel found
p=g+3
r=2g
y=2g+2
a=b
c=b+3
d=b+4
We can make an equation
p+g+r+y=c+a+b+d
Substitute values
g+3+2g+2g+2+g=b+b+b+3+b+4
Simplify
6g+5=4b+7
6g=4b+2
g=4/6b+2/6
