H = Alice's home runs
p = Peter's home runs

p = 2(h - 6)
p + h = 18

Simplified:
p = 2h - 12
p - 2h = -12

p + h = 18

Solve simultaneously:
p - 2h = -12                              ...1
p + h = 18                                ...2

1 - 2:
-3h = - 30
h = -30/-3
h = 10

Substitute into 2:
p + h = 18
p + 10 = 18
p = 18 - 10
p = 8

Therefore, Peter hit 8 home runs and Alice hit 10 homeruns.

Rita earns $10 per hour. She puts 5% of her earnings in savings. Write inequality to find how many hours Rita must work to save
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Rita must work 50 days  to save at least $25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Rita earns per hour  = $10

The saving percentage =  5%

So, the savings of Rita per hour =  5% of $10

⇒5% of $10  = \frac{5}{100}  \times 10  = 0.5

or Rita saves $0.5 per hour.

The amount she wants to save at minimum  = $25

So, let she works at the minimum of k Days.

⇒\textrm{The number of hours she has to work}  = \frac{\textrm{Amount she needs saving}}{\textrm{Amount saved in 1 hour}}

or, k = \frac{25}{0.5}  = 50

The number of hours she has to work  =  50 days

Hence,  Rita must work 50 days  to save at least $25.
