Well, if he gave Helen five stamps, they would be tied,
So with six, he must have two less (at five, they were even, if he gave up one, and helen gained one, helen is now two ahead).

Is there an equation for this because I am so confused?

Helen: X-Stamps.
Kenneth: (X + 8) Stamps.
After giving Helen 6 stamps:
Helen: (X + 6) Stamps.
Kenneth: (X + 8) - 6 = (X + 2) Stamps.
(X + 6) - (x + 2) = 4 More stamps than
Kenneth.
