Answer 1

Answer:

Number of t-shirts Trevor have are 16

If Trevor have 16 t-shirts, than Marissa will have 10 t-shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number of t-shirts Trevor has = x and number of t-shirts Marissa has = y.

Since, they both have total of 26 t-shirts. We get,

$x+y=26$

Moreover, Marissa has 6 t-shirts less than that of Trevor.

So, we have,

$y=x-6$

On solving the system of equations, we get,

$x+y=26$ implies $x+x-6=26$ implies $2x=26+6$ i.e. 2x= 32 i.e. x= 16.

So, $y=x-6$ implies $y=16-6$ i.e y= 10.

Hence, the number of t-shirts Trevor and Marissa have are 16 and 10 respectively.

That is, If Trevor have 16 t-shirts, than Marissa will have 10 t-shirts.
