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:
Step-by-step explanation:help me first
X= -0.5 this is the answer
3x+2y=8
5x-2y=8
1) Cross out the 2ys and add the rest of the equations together.
2) 8x=16
3) 16/8=2 Therefore, x=2
4) Add 2 into one of the equations (either one)
5)3(2)+ 2y=8
6) 6+2y= 8
7) Subtractionnnnn 8-6=2
8) 2y=2
9) 2/2= 1
10) y=1 x=2 (2,1)
