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. (1 point)

1 answer

Let \( h \) represent the number of home runs that Hassan hit. According to the problem, Andre hit 4 more home runs than twice the number of home runs Hassan hit. This can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Home runs hit by Andre} = 2h + 4 \]

Together, their total home runs add up to 10, so we can write the equation:

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

To simplify, combine the terms:

\[ 3h + 4 = 10 \]

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