Solution Steps

Step 1: Set Up the Equations

We are given that two players, Washington and Sanchez, have a total of 266 hits. Additionally, Washington had 4 more hits than Sanchez. We can set up the following equations based on this information:

  1. The total number of hits: \[ w + s = 266 \]
  2. Washington had 4 more hits than Sanchez: \[ w = s + 4 \]
Step 2: Solve the System of Equations

Substitute the second equation into the first equation to solve for \( s \):

\[ s + (s + 4) = 266 \]

Simplify and solve for \( s \):

\[ 2s + 4 = 266 \]

Subtract 4 from both sides:

\[ 2s = 262 \]

Divide by 2:

\[ s = 131 \]

Now, substitute \( s = 131 \) back into the second equation to find \( w \):

\[ w = 131 + 4 = 135 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{w = 135}\) and \(\boxed{s = 131}\)
