<h2>Answer</h2>

C) Stan owns less than 9 cards.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Let $k$ be the number of Kyle's cards and $s$ the number of Stan's cards.

We know from our problem that Kyle has 22 more cards than 3 times the number of cards that Stan owns, so:

$k=3s+22$ equation (1)

We also knows that together, they own less than 58 cards, so:

$k+s$ equation (2)

Replace (1) in (2) and solve for $s$ :

$3s+22+s$

$4s$

$s$

Stan owns less than 9 cards.
