Final answer:
To find out how many flowers are in the garden, subtract the number of white, red, and yellow flowers from the total number of flowers.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many flowers are in the garden, we need to add up the number of flowers of each color. Let's assume there are x flowers in total.
We are told that all the flowers in the garden are white except 2, all are red except 2, and all are yellow except 2. This means there are 2 white flowers, 2 red flowers, and 2 yellow flowers in the garden.
Therefore, the remaining flowers in the garden are x - 2 (white flowers) - 2 (red flowers) - 2 (yellow flowers). So, the number of flowers in the garden is x = (x - 2 - 2 - 2).
Simplifying this equation, we get x = x - 6. This equation doesn't have a unique solution, which means we cannot determine the exact number of flowers in the garden based on the given information.
