Player a led a baseball league in runs batted in for the 2008 regular season. player b, who came in second to player a, had 12 fewer runs batted in for the 2008 regular season. together, these two players brought home 232 runs during the 2008 regular season. how many runs batted in did player a and player b each account for?
Question
Answer:
Answer:Player A had 122, while player B had 110.
Explanation:
This is solved by:
1- setting Player A = x and Player B = x -12.
2- adding both of those, setting equal to 232:
x + x - 12 = 232
3- solving.
x + (x - 12) = 232.
2x - 12 = 232.
2x = 244.
x = 122.
