Please help me on this question and explain your answer thanks

Answer 1

Each variable used is the first letter of each of their names.

t+b+c=87
c=2t
b=t+7

Substitute for b and c
t+ (t+7)+2t= 87
4t+7=87
4t=80
t=20

Plug in the known t value.
c=2(20)
c=40

b=20+7
b=27

Final answer: Tammy=$20, Boris= $27, Carlos=$40
