karinne hit 4 more home runs than 1/2 the number of home runs Lu hit. Together they hit 10 home runs. Let X represent the number of home runs Lu hit. Write an equation to represent the situation ​

Respuesta :

It is given that Lu hit x numbers of home run.

So, number of home run hit by Karinne is  more home runs than 1/2 the number of home runs Lu hit.

So, number of home run Karinne hit is :

[tex]y = 4 + 0.5x[/tex]

Also,

[tex]x + y = 10[/tex]

Solving above two equation, we get :

x + ( 4 + 0.5x ) = 10

1.5x + 4 = 10

1.5x = 6

x = 4

Therefore, number of home run hit by Lu is 4.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Creating a mathematical expression using the scenario described, the expression which represents the total number of home runs is 1.5x + 4 = 10

Total Number of home runs :

(1/2)x + 4 + x = 10

1.5x + 4 = 10

1.5x = 10 - 4

1.5x = 6

x = 6/1.5

x = 4

Therefore, the equation which represents the situation is 1.5x + 4 = 10
