Steve hit 4 more home runs than 2 time as many as larry. Together they hit 10 home runs. How many runs did Steve hit?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "S = 2L+4
\n" ); document.write( "S + L = 10
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"S\" and solve for L
\n" ); document.write( "2L+4+L = 10
\n" ); document.write( "3L = 6
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"S\":
\n" ); document.write( "S = 2L+4
\n" ); document.write( "S = 2*2+4
\n" ); document.write( "S = 8 home runs (# of HR's hit be Steve)
