Make a equation
Joe = x
Roy = 4x - 3
They add up to 52 balls
x + 4x - 3 = 52
5x - 3 = 52
5x = 55, x = 11
Since Joe is x, he hit 11 balls

Answer:

Joe hit 11 balls       Roy hit 41

Step-by-step explanation

Joe = J

Roy = 4J-3 (4times Joe  less 3)

J+ 4J-3 = 52

5J -3 = 52

Add 3 on both sides  

5J = 55

Divide both sides by 5

J= 11

Joe = 11

11X4 = 44

44-3 = 41

Roy 41

11+41 = 52
