Question

In one baseball season peter hit twice the difference of the number of home runs alice hit and 6 altogether they hit 18 home runs how many homeruns did each player hit that season?

Answer 1

In a baseball season:
Peter hit = 2 (x - 6)
Total = 19 hits

X= Alex’s hit
Y = Peter’s Hit

=> Y = 2(x - 6)
=> x + y = 18
Let’s start from the second given equation:
=> x + y =18
=> y = 18 – x
Now, let’s use the first given equation to solve:
=> 18 – x = 2 (x - 6)
=> 18 – x = 2x – 12
=> -3x = -30
x = 10

Now, Let’s try:
=> Y = 2(x - 6)
=> y = 2 (10 - 6)
=> y = 2 (4)
=> y = 8

Thus, Peter hit 8 and Alice hit 10.
