    The answer to your question is Marissa = 6, Trevor = 16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    total number of t-shirts = 26

    Marissa has 6 fewer than trevor

    Process

    1. - Write equations to solve this problem

    Marissa = m

    Trevor = t

    m + t = 26 Equation l

    m = t - 6 Equation ll

    - Substitute equation ll in equation l

    (t - 6) + t = 26

    -Simplify

    t - 6 + t = 26

    2t = 26 + 6

    2t = 32

    t = 32/2

    t = 16

    - Find m

    m = 16 - 6

    m = 10

    -Conclusion

    Trevor has 16 t-shirts and Marissa has 10 t-shirts.
