Question

Trevor and marissa together have 26 t-shirts to sell. If marissa has 6 fewer t-shirts than Trevor, find how many T-shirts trevor has

Answer 1

Trevor has 16 T-shirts

Explanation:

Trevor's shirts (t) + Marisa's shirts(m)= 26

t + m = 26

m= t -6

Replace Marisa's (m ) by t-6 ( 6 fewer than Trevor)

t+ t - 6 = 26

2t - 6= 26

2t= 26+6

t = 32/2

t = 16

Trevor has 16 t-shirts

Marisa has 16 -6 t-shirts= 10

16+ 10 = 26
