Karter has 24 t-shirts. karter has 8 fewer pairs of shoes than pairs of pants. if the number of t-shirts karter has is double the number of pants he has, how many pairs of shoes does karter have? let p represent the number of pants karter has and s represent the number of pairs of shoes he has.

use tape diagrams to solve the problem.

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

i found two solutions,   n = 2 • ± √3 = ± 3.4641
