14There were 85 more blouses than windbreakers at first. If another 85 windbreakers were added at first, the number of windbreakers and blouses would be the same.
4 u + 85 = 3 u + 59
4 u - 3 u = 59 - 85
1 u = -26
1 u = -26 ÷ 1 = -26
Number of windbreakers in the shop at first
= 4 u
= 4 x -26
= -104
Answer(s): -104
