Answer: Manal = 27 messages
Elisa = 17 messages
Abdulrahman = 51 messages
Step-by-step explanation:
Let tye number of messages that Manal sent be x.
Since Eissa sent 10 fewer messages than Manal, this will be:
= x - 10
Abdulrahman sent 3 times as many messages as Eissa. This will be:
= 3(x - 10) = 3x - 30
We are also told that Manal, Abdulrahman, and Eissa sent a total of 95 text messages. This will be:
x + (x - 10) + (3x - 30) = 95
x + x - 10 + 3x - 30 = 95
x + x + 3x - 10 - 30 = 95
5x - 40 = 95
5x = 95 + 40
5x = 135
x = 135/5
x = 27
Manal = x = 27
Elisa = x - 10 = 27 - 10 = 17
Abdulrahman = 3x - 30 = 3×27 - 30 = 81 - 30 = 51
Manal = 27 messages
Elisa = 17 messages
Abdulrahman = 51 messages
