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

Let's denote 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:

\[ \text{Andre's home runs} = 2h + 4 \]

Together, they hit a total of 10 home runs, which can be expressed as:

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

Now we can simplify this equation:

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

This can be simplified further:

\[ 3h + 4 = 10 \]

So the equation that can be used to find the number of home runs Hassan hit is:

\[ 3h + 4 = 10 \]
