together, teammates pedro and ricky got 26762676 base hits last season. pedro had 280280 more hits than ricky. how many hits did each player have?

See the offered decision:

2) according to the conditions P (Pedro) got  280280 more, it means 'x+280280' hits.
3) according to the conditions total number of hits is 26762676, it means that P+R=26762676 hits. In other words x+(x+280280)=26762676
4) x=13241198 hits this number belongs to R, x+280280=13521478 hits, this number belongs to P's result.
for R 13241198; for P 13521478.
