Question

I'm working on this hmh and assignment and there are multiple parts. this is the main question

Answer 1

x represents the number of home runs lu hit

so, the number of home runs for Karinne = 0.5 * x + 4

together, they hit 10 home runs

so,

x + 0.5 * x + 4 = 10

solve for x

so,

1.5 * x = 10 - 4

1.5 * x = 6

divide both sides by 1.5

so,

x = 6/1.5 = 4

So,

The number of home runs Lu hit = 4

And the number of home runs Karinne hit = 6
