1/2 I guess I don't think you typed in the question correctly. Not trying to be mean.
Let Peter's hit be x and Alice's runs be y.
x = 2(y - 6) . . . (1)
x + y = 18 . . . (2)
Putting (1) into (2) gives,
2y - 12 + y = 18
3y = 18 + 12 = 30
y = 30/3 = 10
x = 2(10 - 6) = 2(4) = 8
Therefore, Peter hit 8 home runs and Alice hit 10 home runs.
Answer: it doesn’t make sense why you have random numbers underneath that inequality sentence. But if anything it would look like 6+2 < 9+3
Step-by-step explanation:
This < equals less than, or more than depending on what number it’s facing. Think of it as an alligator that eating the specific number (or larger number bc its hungry) so whatever the open side is facing is a more than but the number the closed side is facing is less than.
=1/2n - 6n + 3/8 +5
=6.5n + 5.375
