Question 282273: Two minor league baseball players got a total of 266 hits. Washington had 6 more hits than Sanchez. Find the number of hits for each player.
I tried this: 266 divided by 2= 133
133-6=127
133+6=139
Washington had 139 hits and Sanchez had 127 hits Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here is your set up:
Let w + 6 = Washington
Let S = Sanchez
W + S = 266
W + 6 = S
======================
W + W + 6 = 266
2W + 6 = 266
2W = 266 - 6
2W = 260
W = 260/2
W = 130
===============
Washington has 130 + 6 or 136 hits.
Sanches has 6 less than Washington or 130 hits.
NOTE: 136 + 130 = 266
