Jason hit 11 homeruns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeruns hit by Nathan = 19

Let,

Homeruns hit by Nathan = x

Homerun hit by Jason = y

According to given statement;

x = 2y - 3   Eqn 1

We know that Nathan hit 19 homeruns, therefore, putting x=19 in Eqn 1

[tex]19=2y-3\\19+3=2y\\22=2y\\2y=22[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2;

[tex]\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{22}{2}\\y=11[/tex]

Jason hit 11 homeruns.
