Answer:

Pedro and Ricky have 1489 and 1205 hits.

Explanation:

Given:

Together Pedro and Ricky got hits = 2694.

Now, to find the hits of Pedro and Ricky.

Let the hits Ricky had be
x.

So, Pedro had hits =
x+284.

Together Pedro and Ricky got hits = 2694.

Now, to get the hits each player have:


x+(x+284)=2694


x+x+284=2694


2x+284=2694

Subtracting both sides by 284 we get:


2x=2410

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:


x=1205.

Ricky had = 1205 hits.

Now, substituting the value of
x we get:

Pedro had = 1205+284 = 1489.

Thus, Pedro and Ricky have 1489 and 1205 hits.
