in one baseball season, peter hit twice the difference of the
number of home runs alice hit and 6. altogether, they hit
18 home runs. how many home runs did each player hit
that season?

Peter 8 and Alice 10 home runs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the home runs by peter be represented by "x" and the home runs of Alice be represented by "y".

Altogether the hit 18 home runs. This means sum of x and y would be 18. So we can write the equation as:

x + y = 18                                      Equation 1

Peter hit twice the difference of the  number of home runs Alice hit and 6. Difference of the  number of home runs Alice hit and 6 is y - 6 and twice of this difference would be 2(y - 6). So, we can set up the second equation as:

x = 2(y - 6)                                     Equation 2

Substituting the value of x from Equation 2 into Equation 1, we get:

2(y - 6) + y = 18

2y - 12 + y = 18

3y = 30

y = 10

Substituting the value of y in Equation 2, we get:

x = 2(y - 6) = 2(10 - 6) = 2(4) = 8

This means, Peter hit 8 home runs and Alice hit 10 home runs.

g = (2, 2)

step-by-step explanation:

given the ratio is 1 : 1 then f is the midpoint of eg

let the coordinates of g = (x, y)

using the midpoint formula

(0 + x) = 1 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

0 + x = 2 ⇒ x = 2

similarly

(4 + y) = 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

4 + y = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 2

coordinates of g = (2, 2)
