Answer :
Make a equation
Joe = x
Roy = 4x - 3
They add up to 52 balls
x + 4x - 3 = 52
5x - 3 = 52
5x = 55, x = 11
Since Joe is x, he hit 11 balls
Joe = x
Roy = 4x - 3
They add up to 52 balls
x + 4x - 3 = 52
5x - 3 = 52
5x = 55, x = 11
Since Joe is x, he hit 11 balls
Answer:
Joe hit 11 balls Roy hit 41
Step-by-step explanation
Joe = J
Roy = 4J-3 (4times Joe less 3)
J+ 4J-3 = 52
5J -3 = 52
Add 3 on both sides
5J = 55
Divide both sides by 5
J= 11
Joe = 11
11X4 = 44
44-3 = 41
Roy 41
11+41 = 52
