Answer:
The number of singles Ty Cobb got = 69
Step-by-step explanation:
Total runs = 161
Triples = 14
Doubles = 19
Home runs = 3
To find the number of singles Ty Cobb got in the session.
Solution:
Total runs scored in doubles = [tex]2\times 19 = 38[/tex]
Total runs scored in triples = [tex]3\times 14 =42[/tex]
Total runs scored in home runs = [tex]4\times 3 = 12[/tex]
Let the number of singles be = [tex]x[/tex]
The total runs scored can be given as :
⇒ [tex]x+38+42+12[/tex]
Total runs = 161
So, the equation to find [tex]x[/tex] can be given as:
[tex]x+38+42+12=161[/tex]
[tex]x+92=161[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by 92.
[tex]x+92-92=161-92[/tex]
∴ [tex]x=69[/tex]
Thus, number of singles Ty Cobb got = 69
