At the barber shop, Dashawn and Jayshawn do a total of 95 haircuts each week. If Dashawn does 16 fewer haircuts than twice Jayshawn, how many haircuts does Dashawn do?

Dashawn does 58 haircuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of haircuts that Deshawn does each week.

Let y represent the number of haircuts that Jayshawn does each week.

At the barber shop, Dashawn and Jayshawn do a total of 95 haircuts each week. This means that

x + y = 95- - - - - - - - - - - -1

If Dashawn does 16 fewer haircuts than twice Jayshawn, the expression would be

x = 2y - 16

Substituting x = 2y - 16 into equation 1, it becomes

2y - 16 + y = 95

3y = 95 + 16

3y = 111

y = 111/3

y = 37

x = 2y - 16 = 2 × 37 - 16

x = 74 - 16

x = 58
