Question

Among the career home run leaders for Major League Baseball, hank aaron has 181 fewer than twice the number of chipper Jones. Hank Aaron hit 755 home runs. Write an equation for this situation. How many home runs did. Chipper jones hit in his career?

Answer 1

The equation for this situation is 755 = 2x - 181, where x represents the number of home runs hit by Chipper Jones. Solving for x, we find that Chipper Jones hit 468 home runs in his career.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation for this situation, we can use the given information that Hank Aaron has 181 fewer home runs than twice the number of home runs hit by Chipper Jones. We know that Hank Aaron hit 755 home runs, so we can let the number of home runs hit by Chipper Jones be represented by 'x'. The equation for this situation would be: 755 = 2x - 181.

To find out how many home runs Chipper Jones hit in his career, we can solve for 'x' in the equation: 755 = 2x - 181. Adding 181 to both sides of the equation gives us: 936 = 2x. Dividing both sides by 2, we find that Chipper Jones hit 468 home runs in his career.

Answer 2

Answer: He has 287 home runs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

H = home runs of Hank

J = home runs of Jones.

We know that:

H = 2*J - 181

H = 755

Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:

755 = 2*J - 181

(755 - 181)/2 = J

287 = J
