CE
Player A had runs and player B had runs batted in for the 2005 regular season.

Answer 1

ok so we trying to find out how many each batted so lets make this a system of equation

first we now that combined they are 232 so

a+b=232

then we now that b is 18 less then a so

a-18=b

the system of equation is

a+b=232

a-18=b

so we now what b is so we can just plug that in

a+a-18=232

2a-18=232

2a=250

a=125

then we can just plug this back in

125+b=232

b=107

a=125

b=107

Hope This Helps!!!
