Answer: Andrew = 20

Jimmy = 25

Richard = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of Andrew's comic books be y.

Jimmy has five more comic books than Andrew. This means Jimmy has: y+5

Richard has four times as many comic book as jimmy. This means Richard has: 4(y+5) = 4y + 20

Since there are 145 comic books together. This can be rewritten as:

y + (y+5) + (4y+20) = 145

6y+25 = 145

6y = 145 - 25

y = 120/6

y = 20

Andrew has 20 comic books

Jimmy has five more comic books than Andrew. Jimmy has: 20+5 = 25

Richard has: 4y + 20 = 4(20) + 20 = 100
