Answer:
$32
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy spent $48 on shoes. This was $16 less than twice what she spent on shirt x
The equation can be thus
48 = 2x - 16
Add 16 to both sides to eliminate -16 on the left side
48 + 16 = 2x - 16 - 16
64 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
64/2 = 2x/2
32 = x
x = $32
The shirt cost $32
Check
48 = 2(32) - 16
48 = 64 - 16
48 = 48
