Answer: T = 700, N = 1300

Explanation:

N = the number of stickers Nicole has

T = the number of stickers Tasha has

Nicole and Tasha have 2000

N + T = 2000

Nicole has 600 more stickers than Tasha

N = T + 600

Put the 2nd equation into the first

(T + 600) + T = 2000

Solve

2T + 600 = 2000

2T = 1400

T = 700

Tasha has 700, so Nicole has 2000 - 700 = 1300

Check in 2nd equation

N = T + 600

1300 = 700 + 600

1300 = 1300
