Teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2679 base hits last season. Pedro had 281 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each player have?

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the number of hits Ricky got. Then Pedro's hits were r+281 and their total was ...

  r + (r +281) = 2679

  2r = 2398

  r = 1199

  r+281 = 1480

Pedro got 1480 hits; Ricky got 1199.

Additional comment

The two answers to a "sum and difference" problem are half the sum plus or minus half the difference. Here, those values are (2679/2) ± (281/2). Pedro got more hits, so his number is (2679+281)/2 and Ricky's number is (2679-281)/2, as above.

20335+282=20617

answer: the resulting cross section is a rectangle. solution: a plane parallel to the base of a triangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its bases. so the cross section is a triangle.
