Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if x is the number of books Tina has
then 5x is the number of books Stella has
Stella gives 16 books to tina. So now, Stella has:
5x - 16 books
and Tina has x + 16 books given that they will have a same number of books
so,5x-16 = x + 16
4x = 32
x = 8
Tina has 8 books
Stella has 40 books
