together, teammates pedro and ricky got 2682 base hits last season. pedro had 278 more hits than ricky. how many hits did each player have?

Ricky: 1202

Pedro: 1480

Step-by-step explanation:

Ricky: x

Pedro: x+278

2x+278=2682

2x=2404

x=1202

Remember Ricky is x so he has 1202 hits

1202+278=1480

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
