Zach has 6 shirts. This is 4 less than twice the number of shirts that Xavier has. How many shirts does Xavier have? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Let x be the number of shirts Xavier has and the equation is as follows:

2x - 4 = 6

The steps for solving for x are as follows:

2x - 4 + 4 = 6 + 4

2x = 10

2x/2 = 10/2

x = 5
