Kenneth has eight more trading stamps than Helen. If Kenneth gives Helen six of his stamps, Helen will have more. How many more stamps will Helen have than Kenneth?

Well, if he gave Helen five stamps, they would be tied,

So with six, he must have two less (at five, they were even, if he gave up one, and helen gained one, helen is now two ahead).

Is there an equation for this because I am so confused?

Helen: X-Stamps.

Kenneth: (X + 8) Stamps.

After giving Helen 6 stamps:
Helen: (X + 6) Stamps.
Kenneth: (X + 8) - 6 = (X + 2) Stamps.

(X + 6) - (x + 2) = 4 More stamps than
Kenneth.

To find out how many more stamps Helen will have than Kenneth, we need to determine the number of stamps each currently has and then calculate the difference.

Let's create a variable to represent the number of stamps Helen has. We'll call it "H".

We are given that Kenneth currently has eight more stamps than Helen, so we can express the number of stamps Kenneth has as "H + 8".

If Kenneth gives Helen six of his stamps, the number of stamps Helen has will increase by six, from "H" to "H + 6". The number of stamps Kenneth has will decrease by six, from "H + 8" to "H + 8 - 6".

Helen will have more stamps than Kenneth when "H + 6" is greater than "H + 8 - 6".

Let's solve the inequality:

H + 6 > H + 8 - 6

First, let's simplify the right side:

H + 6 > H + 2

Next, we can subtract H from both sides to eliminate it:

H + 6 - H > H + 2 - H

Simplifying further:

6 > 2

This inequality is always true. Therefore, Helen will always have more stamps than Kenneth, regardless of how many stamps each originally had.

So the answer to the original question is: Helen will have more stamps than Kenneth, but the difference in the number of stamps cannot be determined.
