Question

Two minor league baseball players got a total of 292 292 hits. washington had 18 18 more hits than sanchez. find the number of hits for each player

Answer 1

Let number of hits by Sanchez be x.

Number of hits by Washington = 18 + x

Total number of hits = 292

x + 18 + x = 292

2x + 18 = 292

2x = 274

x = 137

Hence, Sanchez has 137 hits and Washington has 155 hits.
