Sachin scored twice as many runs as Rahul. Together, their runs fell two short of a double century. How many runs did each one score? Please give the steps also and the equation
let rahul's score be y
rahul's score = y
sachin's score is twice as many runs as rahul = 2y
their runs fell two short of a double century = 198
therefore, rahul's score = 2y + y = 198
= 3y = 198
= y = 198/3
= y = 66
therefore, sachin's score = 66 multiplied by 2
= 132
