Two minor league baseball players got a total of 224 hits. Washington had 16 more hits than Sanchez. Find the number of hits for each player.

-------------------
W + S = 224
W = S + 16
----------
Sub for W into the first eqn
W + S = 224
S+16 + S = 224
2S + 16 = 224
2S = 208
S = 104
--------------
W = 120
