Question

Solve by writing and solving the equation:

Sara hit four more home runs than twice the number of home runs Larry hit. Together they hit 10 home runs. How many home runs did Sara hit?

Answer 1

s=4+2L

4+2L + L =10
4 + 3L = 10
3L = 6
L=2
s=8

Answer 2

Sarah hit 8 home runs.
We are comparing everything to Larry, so we make Larry X.
We know that Sarah hit two times what Larry hit plus 4.

So Sarah hit ( 2*X + 4 )

Now we add in what Larry hit (X)

(2*X + 4) + X

Remember, alltogether they hit 10 home runs

(2*X + 4) + X = 10

Now combine like terms (X's) Remember 2*X= 2X

2X + X + 4 = 10
3X + 4 = 10

Now combine the numbers without variables

3X= 10-4
3X=6

Now divide both sides by three to get the X by itself

3X/3 = 6/3
X=2

Larry hit 2 home runs, so Sarah hit 8

Answer 3

Sara hit 8 where larry hit 2

Answer 4

Larry hit x home runs.
Sara hit 2x+4 home runs.

x + 2x + 4 = 10
3x + 4 = 10
3x = 6
x = 2

Larry hit 2 home runs and Sara hit 8.

Answer 5

Sara= 4+2x
Larry= x
10=4+ 2x + x
10=4+ 3x
6=3x
2=x

now plug in x

4+2(2)
4+4
8

Sara hit 8

Answer 6

2x+4+x=10
3x+4=10
-4 -4
3x=6
--- ---
3 3
x=2

Larry hit 2 homeruns n sara hit 8 homeruns

Answer 7

let larry hits x
then sara hits 2x+4
so :
x+(2x+4)=10
3x=6
x=2
then sara hits 8

Answer 8

try writing down the equations. think it through. dont just ask for help wont help you out in the end.
