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.
