Question

Two minor league baseball players got a total of 280280 hits. washington had 1818 more hits than sanchez. find the number of hits for each player.

Answer 1

We can say sanchez's hits are x, and washington's are x+1818. x+x+1818=280280, and subtracting by 1818 we get 278462=2x. Dividing by 2, we get x=139231 and washington's hits are 139231+1818=141049
