Bella and Ricky have 2,686 shots but Bella has 278 more hits than Ricky
This means if x is Bella shots and y is Ricky's shot then
278 +x +y =2686
278 +x +y = 2408
x+y =2686 - 278
x + y =2408
for equality we divide by 2
x = 1204 hits
y = 1204 hits
but Bella has 278 shots more than Ricky
so Bella's shot = 1204 + 278 =1482 shots and Ricky's shot = 1204
