To find out how many pairs of shorts Edward sold, we need to use the information given and the equation provided:

I = 100J + 12T + 5S + 7H - 5M

We know that Edward's income (I) for the week is $197, the number of jeans (J) sold is 5, the number of T-shirts (T) sold is 5, the number of hats (H) sold is 3, and the number of meals (M) bought is 3. We need to find the value of S (number of shorts sold).

Substituting the given values into the equation, we have:

197 = 100(5) + 12(5) + 5S + 7(3) - 5(3)

Simplifying the equation:

197 = 500 + 60 + 5S + 21 - 15

197 = 500 + 60 + 5S + 6

197 = 566 + 5S + 6

191 = 5S + 6

Rearranging the equation:

5S = 191 - 6

5S = 185

Dividing both sides by 5:

S = 37

Therefore, Edward sold 37 pairs of shorts.
