Answer:

The number of T-shirts that Trevor has is 10 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of T-shirts to be sell together for Trevor and Marissa = 26

The number of T-shirts that Marissa has is 6 more than that Trevor has

Let The number of T-shirts that Marissa has = M

And number of T-shirts that Trevor has = T

Now, According to question

The total number of T-shirts to be sell together for Trevor and Marissa = 26

I.e The number of T-shirts that Marissa has + number of T-shirts that Trevor has = 26

Or, M + T = 26 ...........1

And

M = 6 + T ......2

Solving both equations

Put the value of M from eq 2 into eq 1

I.e M + T = 26

Or, (6 + T) + T = 26

Or, 6 + 2 T = 26

or, 2 T = 26 - 6

∴ 2 T = 20

I.e T = [tex]\frac{20}{2}[/tex]

Or, T = 10

So, The number of T-shirts that Trevor has = T = 10

Hence The number of T-shirts that Trevor has is 10 . Answer
