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?
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=37>>37 chickens
