If x represents the number of Sanchez hits, then
x+14 will represent the number of Washington hits.
The total number of hits = 214
x + x + 14 = 214 Sanchez hits plus Washington hits
2x + 14 = 214
2x + 14 - 14 = 214 - 14 = 200 Subtract 14 from each side of the equation
2x/2 = 200/2 Divide both sides of the equation by 2
x = 100 The number of Sanchez hits
x + 14 = 114 The number of Washington hits
