For this case we have that the total of the balls is 86. We know there are 8 footballs then:

Basketball: Two more than twice the number of footballs are basketballs, that is:


2 + 2 (8) = 2 + 16 = 18

There are 18 Basketballs.

Baseballs: Four less than 5 times the number of footballs are baseballs, that is:


5 (8) -4 = 40-4 = 36

There are 36 Baseballs.

Softballs: Six more than half of baseballs are softballs. That is to say:


6+ \frac {36} {2} = 6 + 18 = 24

There are 24 Softballs

If we add we must get 86.


8 + 18 + 36 + 24 = 86

ANswer:

There are 8 Footballs

There are 18 Basketballs.

There are 36 Baseballs.

There are 24 Softballs
