Question

In one baseball season, Peter hit twice the difference of the number of home runs Alice hit and 6. Altogether, they hit 18 home runs. How many home runs did each player hit that season.

Answer 1

Peter hit 12 home runs and alice hit 6 home runs

Explanation:

this is right because if Peter hit 6 and then he hit twice the amount that would bring his total to 12 due to 6 x 2 = 12 and if together they hit 18 home runs that would mean you want to subtract the total from Peter's and that would be explained as 18-12=6 and the 6 left over would leave you with alice number of home runs. Hope this helps :)
