Yoko, Rafael, and Jim sent a total of 100 text messages during the weekend. Yoko sent 5 more messages than Jim. Rafael sent 3 times as many messages as Jim. How many messages did they each send?

Respuesta :

Answer: Yoko=24, Rafael=57, Jim=19

Step-by-step explanation:

Yoko: x + 5

Rafael: 3x

Jim: x

Yoko + Rafael + Jim = Total text messages

x + 5 +    3x    +   x   =  100

5x + 5 = 100

5x = 95

x = 19

************

Yoko: x + 5 = (19) + 5   = 24

Rafael: 3x = 3(19) = 57

Jim: x = 19
