Answer 4

Hello

Answer 5

Ok

Answer 6

So first we must create an equation
Generally we know that Pedro and Ricky combined have a total of 2672 baseball hits.
(To make it easier let's make P - Pedro and R- Ricky)
So our general equation is P+R = 2672
Do you agree??

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Ok So with the info given we know that P has 280 hits more than R so do you have an idea of an equation we can create?

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

Ok that's ok. To determine what P's total is we can use the equation P = R + 280

Answer 11

Are you understanding?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

Ok so we plug in our equation for P in our general equation so can you tell me what that is?

Answer 14

p+r=280

Answer 15

Yes now replace P with the equation we just found
