Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the number of pants Karter has, s represent the number of pairs of shoes he has and t the number of T-shirts he has.
Karter has 24 T-shirts.
t=24
Karter has 8 fewer pairs of shoes than pairs of pants.
p=s+8
The number of T-shirts Karter has is double the number of pants he has.
2x p= t
then
p=t/2=24/2=12
s=p-8=12-8=4
