Answer 1

pedro = 1478 ricky 1195

Explanation:

2673 - 283 = 2390

2390 divided by 2 equals 1195

1195 + 283 = 1478

1478 + 1195 = 2673

Answer 2

`\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}`

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the linear Equations.

To solve this, lets consider,

Lets consider basic hits of Ricky to be 'x' and that of pedro be x + 283 ,

hence we get as,

x + (x+283) = 2673

===> 2x = 2673 - 283

===> 2x = 2390

==> x = 1195

hence, Ricky has 1195 basic points and pedro has 1478 basic hits.
