Answer:
Jamie has 44 pairs of shoes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Jamie= x pairs of shoes
Suzie= 33 less than twice the amount of shoes Jamie has
2x - 33 = 55
Solve:
2x - 33 = 55
Collect like terms
2x = 55 + 33
2x = 88
Divide both sides by 2
2x / 2 = 88 / 2
x = 44
Jamie = x = 44 pairs of shoes
Therefore, Jamie has 44 pairs of shoes
