He buys 12 red lights, 3 times as many blue lights, and 6 green lights. If he still has 5 colored lights left to buy, how many white lights did Malcolm have initially? Let's think first. Chain of thought: <hau> Hasken wuta a gidan Malcolm yana walƙiya, kuma yana fatan cewa maye gurbin dukkan fitilun fararensa da fitilun launuka zai sa ya tsaya. Ya sayi ja 12, sau uku shuɗi, da kuma kore 6. Idan har yanzu yana da sauran fitilu masu launi guda 5 da zai saya, fitilu nawa ne Malcolm ya fara da su? Bari mu yi tunani da farko. Sarkar tunani:
