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
