Together, teammates pedro and ricky got 2681 base hits last season. pedro had 283 more hits than ricky. how many hits did each player have

Ricky had 1199 hits.

Pedro had 1482 hits.

Step-by-step explanation:

State your variables

let "p" be the number of Pedro's base hits

let "r" be the number of Ricky's base hits

Create equations using information from the problem

p + r = 2681         [1]

p = r + 283          [2]

Substitute equation [2] in equation [1] replacing 'p'

p + r = 2681

r + 283 + r = 2681

Combine like terms to simplify

2r + 283 = 2681

Isolate '"r" to solve for Ricky's base hits.

2r + 283 - 283 = 2681 - 283            Subtract 283 on both sides

2r = 2398        

2r/2 = 2398/2               Divide both sides by 2

r = 1199              Number of Ricky's hits

Substitute r = 1199 into any equation to find "p". I will use [2].

p = r + 283

p = 1199 + 283         Add

p = 1482              Number of Pedro's hits

Therefore Ricky had 1199 hits and Pedro had 1482 hits.
