In one baseball season, Nolan hit twice the difference of the number of home runs Mrs. Davis hit and 6. Altogether, they hit 18 home runs. How many home runs did Nolan hit that season? (Hint: You will need to use a set of parentheses in this problem with the Distributive Property).

Nolan hitted 8 home runs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of home runs that Nolan hitted by N, and that Davis hitted by D.

So, we can write the following equations:

N = 2 * (D - 6)

N + D = 18

Now we can solve the system of equations, using the value of N from the first equation in the second one:

2 * (D - 6) + D = 18

2*D - 12 + D = 18

3*D = 30

D = 10

Now we find N:

N + D = 18

N + 10 = 18

N = 8

So we have that Nolan hitted 8 home runs.
