    T=number of shirt

    p=pants

    s=shoes

    t=24

    8 fewer shoes than pants means s=p-8

    t shirts are double pants, means t=2p

    so

    t=24

    s=p-8

    t=2p

    solve

    we can see

    24=t=2p

    24=2p

    divide both sides by 2

    12=p

    sub into other equation

    s=p-8

    s=12-8

    s=4

    4 pairs of shoes
