By solving a linear equation we will see that Junos spent 2 hours on social media.

How to find the equation that we need to solve?

First, we need to define the variables we will be using. let's define:

  • x = number of hours spent on social media.
  • y = number of hours spent in online games.

We know that, in online gaming, Juno spent two hours less than 3 times what he spent on social media, this can be written as:

y = 3*x - 2

Now we already know the value of y, y = 4.

Replacing that we get:

4 = 3*x - 2

Now we can solve this linear equation for x:

4 + 2 = 3*x

6 = 3*x

6/3 = x = 2

Juno spent 2 hours on social media.
