marcie, kim and yvonne are on the same softball team.
(A). During the last season . Marcie hit 3 less than twice the number of home runs that kim hit let h represent the number of home runs that kim hit . write an expression that represents the number of home runs that Marcie hit.
(B). During the season. Yvonne hit 4 more than half the number of home runs that kim hit. Let h represent the number of home runs that Kim hit. Write an expression to represent the number of home runs that Yvonne hit.
a. 2h-3.
b. h/2 + 4.
(A). To find an expression that represents the number of home runs that Marcie hit, we need to use the given information: Marcie hit 3 less than twice the number of home runs that Kim hit. Let's represent the number of home runs that Kim hit by 'h'.
Twice the number of home runs that Kim hit is equal to 2h. And 3 less than that would be 2h - 3. So, the expression that represents the number of home runs that Marcie hit would be:
2h - 3.
(B). Similarly, to find an expression that represents the number of home runs that Yvonne hit, we are given that Yvonne hit 4 more than half the number of home runs that Kim hit. Again, let's represent the number of home runs that Kim hit by 'h'.
Half the number of home runs that Kim hit is equal to (1/2)h. And 4 more than that would be (1/2)h + 4. So, the expression that represents the number of home runs that Yvonne hit would be:
(1/2)h + 4.
