Answer:
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
you can check your answer:
259 + 65 = 324
324 = 324 ✔️
