Answer:

a.  3+\frac{x}{2} =8

b.  x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

a.  The number of home runs hit by Jack last season = x

It is given that Henry hit 3 more than half as many home runs as Jack hit.

Half of the runs hit by Jack = \frac{x}{2}

3 more than half the runs =  3+\frac{x}{2}

So, the number of home runs hit by Henry =  3+\frac{x}{2}

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

Therefore,  3+\frac{x}{2} =8

b.   3+\frac{x}{2} =8

Subtract 3 from both sides.

\frac{x}{2} =8-3

= 5

x = 5 × 2

= 10

Hence, Jack hit 10 runs in the last season.
