You can represent the problem with an equation. Let x be the number of home runs player B had.
According to the statement, player A had 653 less than twice the number of home runs player B had.
so you can write the equation:
Player A = 2x - 653
This equation shows the relationship between the number of home runs player B had (x) and the number of home runs player A had (2x - 653). To find the number of home runs player B had, you can solve for x by adding 653 to both sides of the equation:
x = (Player A + 653) / 2
So if you know the number of home runs player A had, you can use this equation to find the number of home runs player B had.
