A minimum of 0 long-sleeved shirts can be purchased.

A maximum of 8 long-sleeved shirts can be purchased.

This question will be solved by forming an equation and then solving it simultaneously.

Let a long sleeve be represented as "a" and short sleeve be represented as "b". If so, then we have 2 equations, vis a vis;

a + b = 25

10a + 5b = 165

Solving them simultaneously, we have

5a + 5b = 125

10a + 5b = 165

If we subtract both equations, we have

5a = 40

a = [tex]\frac{40}{5}[/tex]

a = 8

This means that a maximum of 8 long sleeved shirts can be purchased
