Answer:
The total home runs of player A is 43 and of player B is 45
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we don't know the number of home runs done by the players but we do know that the sum those home runs are 88.
If we say that player A did "x" home runs and let's assume this one is the player that did less home runs, therefore player B did the same number of home runs plus 2 because they are consecutive odd integers.
Therefore:
Home runs of Player A = x;
Home runs of Player B = x +2;
So we get that our equation is:
Home runs of Player A + Home runs of Player B = 88
x + x + 2 = 88
2x + 2 = 88
2x = 88 - 2
2x = 86
x = 86/2
x = 43
Home runs of Player A = x = 43
Home runs of Player B = x +2 = 43 + 2 = 45
Therefore, the total home runs of player A is 43 and of player B is 45
