<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Miriam buys <i>x</i> stamps, and Betty buys <i>x</i> - 6 stamps.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  x + (x - 6) = 42]


Solve for <i>x</i>.  That's the number Miriam buys.  Subtract 6 from that, that's the number Betty buys.  Add your two answers to check your work.
