two minor league baseball players got a total of 318 hits. washington had 14 more hits than sanchez . fine the number of hits for each player

Answer 1

Let's assume the number of hits for Sanchez is x.
Accordingly, the number of hits for Washington would be x + 14 (since Washington had 14 more hits than Sanchez).

The total number of hits for both players is given as 318, so:
x + (x + 14) = 318
2x + 14 = 318
2x = 318 - 14
2x = 304
x = 304/2
x = 152

So, Sanchez had 152 hits, and Washington had 152 + 14 = 166 hits.
