Answer:

The other famous player hit 651 home runs

Explanation:

Let the home runs hit by the other famous player be y

Therefore, home runs hit by Hank Aaron = y + 104

Total home runs hit by the two players = 1406

y + y + 104 = 1406

2y + 104 = 1406

2y = 1406 - 104

2y = 1302

y = 1302/2 = 651 home runs

Answer: The answer is 651 runs

Explanation:

Let the Hank Aaron home runs be x

Let the other famous players home runs be x

Let 104 be the home runs hit by Hank Aaron than another player

Let 1406 be the total home runs

x + x + 104 = 1406

Collect like terms

2x = 1406 - 104

2x = 1302

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 1302/2

X = 651

Therefore the other famous player hit 651 home runs
