Amy spent $48 for shoes. This was $16 less than twice what she spent for a shirt. Which equation, when solved for x, gives the cost of the shirt?

$32

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy spent $48 on shoes. This was $16 less than twice what she spent on shirt x

The equation can be thus

48 = 2x - 16

Add 16 to both sides to eliminate -16 on the left side

48 + 16 = 2x - 16 - 16

64 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

64/2 = 2x/2

32 = x

x = $32

The shirt cost $32

Check

48 = 2(32) - 16

48 = 64 - 16

48 = 48

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
