Answer:

Micheal sent 40 messages, Christine sent 20, and Dave sent 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Christine, Dale, and Michael sent a total of 71 messages

C + D + M = 71

Dale sent 9 fewer messages than Christine

D = C - 9

Michael sent 2 times as many messages as Christine

M = 2C

Plug-in the numbers.

C + C - 9 + 2C = 71

4C - 9 = 71

4C = 80

C = 20

Now, plug in to other equations for other results.

D = (20) - 9

D = 11

M = 2(20)

M = 40

Micheal sent 40 messages, Christine sent 20, and Dave sent 11.

Verify?

40 + 20 + 11 = 71.
