Question

Andre hit 4 more home runs than twice the number of home runs Hassan hit. Together, they hit 10 home runs.

Write an equation which can be used to find the total number of home runs, h, Hassan hit.

Answer 1

are there other expressions?

Answer 2

Let's define the number of home runs Hassan hit as \( h \). According to the problem, Andre hit 4 more home runs than twice the number of home runs Hassan hit. This can be expressed as \( 2h + 4 \).

Together, they hit a total of 10 home runs. Therefore, we can write the equation:

\[
h + (2h + 4) = 10
\]

This equation can be simplified to find the total number of home runs Hassan hit.
