Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r represent the number of hits Ricky got. Then Pedro's hits were r+281 and their total was ...
r + (r +281) = 2679
2r = 2398
r = 1199
r+281 = 1480
Pedro got 1480 hits; Ricky got 1199.

Additional comment
The two answers to a "sum and difference" problem are half the sum plus or minus half the difference. Here, those values are (2679/2) ± (281/2). Pedro got more hits, so his number is (2679+281)/2 and Ricky's number is (2679-281)/2, as above.
