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
