Johnny has hit 4 more than twice the number of homeruns that Benny has hit. Johnny has hit 8 homeruns. how many homeruns has benny hit

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can work backward through the wording of the problem.

Johnny hit 8 homeruns, which is 4 more than (some number). Then the value of (some number) must be 8 - 4 = 4.

That (some number) is twice what Benny hit, so Benny hit 4/2 = 2 homeruns.

If you were to write an equation for b, the number of Benny's homeruns, you would write it as ...

  2b +4 = 8

Solving this works the same way as described above.

Subtract 4 to find 2b:

  2b = 8 -4 = 4

Divide by 2 to find b:

  b = 4/2 = 2

Benny hit 2 homeruns.

c. (3,2,6) is the answer.
