Answer:
The answer to your question is Marissa = 6, Trevor = 16
Explanation:
Data
total number of t-shirts = 26
Marissa has 6 fewer than trevor
Process
1.- Write equations to solve this problem
Marissa = m
Trevor = t
m + t = 26 Equation l
m = t - 6 Equation ll
- Substitute equation ll in equation l
(t - 6) + t = 26
-Simplify
t - 6 + t = 26
2t = 26 + 6
2t = 32
t = 32/2
t = 16
- Find m
m = 16 - 6
m = 10
-Conclusion
Trevor has 16 t-shirts and Marissa has 10 t-shirts.
