together teammates Bella and Ricky got 2,686 base hits last season Bella had 278 more hits than Ricky how many hits did each player have​

Bella: 1482

Ricky: 1204

Step-by-step explanation:

Form an equation:

let x be the number of hits ricky has

then bella would have x + 278 hits

So the equation would be:

now, solve

combine like terms

subtract 278 from both sides

divide both sides by 2

since bella has x + 278, she has 1204 + 278 = 1482 hits

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
