Answer:
Lashonda has $16, Jim has $32, and Carlos has $11
Step-by-step explanation:
let's say the amount of money each person has is a variable: L, C, and J for Lashonda, Carlos, and Jim respectively.
J=2L, and C+5=L, and L+C+J=59.
Let's only use Lashonda for this problem.
(2L)+(L-5)+(L)=59. This is equal to
4L-5=59. 59+5=64.
4L=64; 64/4=16, so Lashonda has $16
If we follow the rules, we get:
J=32, L=16, and C=11.
