Ok, helping my kid with Honors Algebra 2. I must be fucking brain dead or something because a word problem is driving me nuts!! I can figure out the answer, but not the equation.
In an evening, a sporting goods store sold twice as many T-shirts as shorts. T-shirts are $9 each and shorts are $14 each. The total amount of money taken in for both items was $256. Find the number of each that was sold.
God I feel like an idiot. Never been stumped by a damn word problem before. Any help is mucho appreciated.
