Sean spent $38 for shorts. this was $4 less than twice what he spent for a shirt. the equation 2x − 4 = 38 can be used to find the cost of the shirt (x). how much did sean spend on the shirt? a) $19 b) $21 c) $24 d) $28

B) $21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sean spent $38 for shorts.

This was $4 less than twice what he spent for a shirt.

Let x denotes the cost of shirt.

The equation is set to find the cost of the shirt (x).

To solve the above equation for x , first we add4 on both the sides , we get

Divide both sides by 2  , we get

Thus , the cos of shirt = $21

Hence, Sean spent $21 on the shirt.
