Answer:
- Keiko: 17
- Chang: 24
- Abdul: 68
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of messages sent by Chang. Then Keiko sent (c-7) messages, and Abdul sent 4(c-7) messages. The total number sent was ...
c + (c -7) +4(c -7) = 109
6c -35 = 109 . . . . . . . . . . simplify
6c = 144 . . . . . . . . . . . add 35
c = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
c-7 = 17
4(c-7) = 68
Keiko sent 17, Chang sent 24, and Abdul sent 68 text messages.
