Answer:

Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S represent Shen, A, Aldo and H, Heather

Now, let's interpret the question

Shen served 2 times as many as Aldo, this gives:

S = 2A          ...eq 1

Aldo served 7 more orders than Heater

A = 7 + H     ... eq 2

Slot in the value of A in eq 1

Therefore,

S = 2 (7 + H)

Expand the bracket

S = 14 + 2H

Shen, Heather and Aldo served a total of 57 orders

S + A + H = 57

Slot in the values of S and A

(14 + 2H) + (7 + H) + H = 57

14 + 2H + 7 + H + H = 57

Collect like terms

14 + 7 + 2H + H + H = 57

21 + 4H = 57

4H = 57 - 21

4H = 36

H = 9

Substitute the value of eq 2

A = 7 + H

A = 7 + 9

A = 16

Substitute the value of A in eq 1

S = 2A

S = 2(16)

S = 32

Therefore, Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders
