Question

Answer 1

Pedro has 1471 hits and Ricky has 1195 hits.

Answer 2

## Step 1We are given two equations:1.

2.

We can use the substitution method to solve this system of equations. This involves substituting the expression for

from the second equation into the first equation.## Step 2Substitute

into the first equation

. This gives us:### \((r + 276) + r = 2666\)## Step 3Combine like terms on the left side of the equation to get:###

## Step 4Subtract 276 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with

:###

## Step 5Divide both sides by 2 to solve for

:###

## Step 6Substitute

into the second equation

to solve for
