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:
Your solution is (9, 27) or x = 9, y = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x + 9
y = 4x - 9
We can see that both of these equations equal y, so we can set them equal to each other.
2x + 9 = 4x - 9
Add 9 to both sides.
2x + 18 = 4x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
18 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2.
9 = x
Now we want to find y. To do this, plug x = 9 back into one of the original equations.
y = 2(9) + 9
Multiply.
y = 18 + 9
Add.
y = 27
Your solution is (9, 27)
Check your answer by plugging x = 9 and y = 27 back into the original equations.
y = 2x + 9
27 = 2(9) + 9
27 = 18 + 9
27 = 27
y = 4x - 9
27 = 4(9) - 9
27 = 36 - 9
27 = 27
Your answer is correct.
Hope this helps!

_____
Polynomial long division is easier than numerical long division because you only need to examine the first terms to determine the quotient term.
The first quotient term is 10x^4/x^3 = 10x.
The second quotient term is 16x^3/x^3 = 16.
When the leading dividend term is lower degree than the divisor, that dividend is the remainder.
