Question

I need help with my math homework it's a word problem

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

I think the end value of the difference here is still just “3” … he has 3 fewer pants than shirts, which means that he has 3 more shirts than pants

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

shirts = pants + 3
