6. Joshua has one less than 4 times the number of likes on Instagram as his friend Jacob. If together they got 324 likes, how many did each boy receive?

joshua = 259 jacob = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

let's make x equal the amount of likes Jacob got

Jacob = x

Joshua = 4x - 1

if together they received 324 likes, we can create an equation to find x:

4x - 1 + x = 324

solve

you should get x = 65

Jacob received 65 likes

now to Joshua:

4x - 1

plug in x

4(65) - 1

= 259

Joshua received 259 likes

259 + 65 = 324

324 = 324 ✔️
