the answer is 7 feet and 5 inches
The coordinates of the drop off would be (-2,2)
What is the shaded area? Please post pic.
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.
