We can use the equation a = 3b to solve for b, which represents the number of shirts Will has:
a = 3b
24 = 3b (substitute 24 for a)
b = 8 (divide both sides by 3)
Therefore, Will has 8 shirts.
Wanda has three times more shirts than her brother, Will.
The equation a = 3b, where a represents the number of shirts Wanda has, and b represents the number of shirts Will has, shows this relationship.
If Wanda has 24 shirts, how many shirts does Will have?
