Mathematically written:
3 * x + 7 = 25
3x + 7 = 25
3x = 25 - 7
3x = 18
x = 18 / 3
x = 6
Proof:
3 * 6 + 7 = 25
18 + 7 = 25
25 = 25 → both sides of the equation are equal, our answer is correct
Notes:
A number - Is an unknown number, called a variable, which in this case is substituted by the letter x.

Step-by-step explanation:
The value of b will be 43° as it is vertically opposite angle.. !!
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.
