14There were 94 more jumpsuits than blouses at first. If another 94 blouses were added at first, the number of blouses and jumpsuits would be the same.
4 u + 94 = 3 u + 59
4 u - 3 u = 59 - 94
1 u = -35
1 u = -35 ÷ 1 = -35
Number of blouses in the shop at first
= 4 u
= 4 x -35
= -140
Answer(s): -140
