Answer:

Nolan hitted 8 home runs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of home runs that Nolan hitted by N, and that Davis hitted by D.

So, we can write the following equations:

N = 2 * (D - 6)

N + D = 18

Now we can solve the system of equations, using the value of N from the first equation in the second one:

2 * (D - 6) + D = 18

2*D - 12 + D = 18

3*D = 30

D = 10

Now we find N:

N + D = 18

N + 10 = 18

N = 8

So we have that Nolan hitted 8 home runs.
