Answer:

a.3+x/2=8

b.x=10

Explanation:

a. the number of home runs hit by jack last season=x

it given that Henry hit 3 more than half as many home runs as jack hit.

half of the runs hit by Jack=x/2

3 more than half The run=3+x/2

so, the number of home runs hit by Henry=3+x/2

But, it is given that Henry hit total of 8 runs.

therefore, 3+x/2=8

b.3+x/2=8

subtract 3 from both sides.

x/2=8-3

=5

x=5*2

=10

Hence, Jack hit 10 runs in the last season.

hope it help.... pls add me as brainlist
