Answer:

Bobby Joe caught 34 fishes

Billy Ray caught 17 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of fish Bobby Joe caught = y

Let the number of Billy Ray caught = x

Total number of fish caught = 51 fishes

x + y = 51......... Equation 1

Billy Ray caught 17 fewer fish than Bobby Joe.

y = x - 17

Write an expression you can use to find out how many fish, f, each boy caught.

Substitute x - 17 for y in Equation 1

x + y = 51......... Equation 1

x + (x - 17) = 51

x + x - 17 = 51

2x = 51 - 17

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

Hence, Bobby Joe caught 17 fishes

x + y = 51

17 + y = 51

y = 51 - 17

y = 34

Hence, Billy ray caught 34 fishes

Joe's Painting charges $100 plus $20 per hour to paint the exterior of your home. Steve's Painting charges $120 plus $15 per hou
Tanzania [10]

Joe's Painting: 20x + 100 = y

Steve's Painting: 15x + 120 = y

x = hours worked

y = total income

We can find when the two equations intersect by making them equal to each other. That means we put an equal sign in the middle. So, it would look something like this:

20x + 100 = 15x + 120

First, we have to move the 100 by subtracting it from both sides.

20x = 15x + 120 - (100)

20x = 15x + 20

Then, we need to move the 15x by subtracting it from both sides.

20 - (15x) = 20

5x = 20

Lastly, we need to divide 5 from both sides.

5x = 20/5

x = 4

Therefore, Joe and Steve would have to work for 4 hours in order for their models to be equal to each other.
