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

Question

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

(1 point)

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 represented as:

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

Since together they hit a total of 10 home runs, we can set up the following equation:

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

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