Question

In one baseball season, Peter hit twice the difference of the number of home runs Alice hit and 3. Altogether, they hit 9 home runs. How many home runs did each player hit that season? Let h represent Alice's home runs.

Answer 1

The answer is 15 and 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

alice hit x homeruns

peter hit twice and the diffrence of the no.of homeruns alice hit 3 and 9 homeruns.

so he hit 2(x-9)

Although they hit 27 homeruns

x+2(x-9)

x+ 2x - 18 = 27

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

no.of peter hits homeruns

2(x-9)=2(15-9)= 2.6=12

Alice hit 10 homeruns and peter hit 8 homeruns.
