Question

Yu yan and Henry sell a total of 26 t shirts for a school fundraiser. Yu yan sells 6 fewer t shirts than Henry. How many t shirts do Henry and yu yan each sell?

Answer 1

Yu Yan sells 10 t-shirts and Henry sells 16 t-shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assign variables to represent the number of t-shirts that Yu Yan and Henry sell.

Let's say the number of t-shirts Yu Yan sells is x and the number of t-shirts Henry sells is x + 6.

We know that the total number of t-shirts sold is 26.

So, we can write an equation using the given information:

x + (x + 6) = 26

This equation represents that the sum of the number of t-shirts Yu Yan sold and the number of t-shirts Henry sold is equal to 26.

We can solve this equation to find the values of x and x + 6.

1. Simplify the equation: 2x + 6 = 26
2. Isolate the variable x: 2x = 20
3. Divide both sides by 2: x = 10

So, Yu Yan sells 10 t-shirts (x = 10) and Henry sells 16 t-shirts (x + 6 = 16).
