It is given that Kala bill and alonzo sent a total of 97 text messages during weekends

Now let alonzo sent x text messages

According to question Bill sent 4x text messages

And Kala sent x+7 text messages

Message sent by kala = 15+7 = 22

Answer 2

Answer: Alonzo sent 15 messages

Kala sent 22 messages

Bill send 60 messages

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of messages that Alonso sent during the weekend.

Bill sent 4 times as many messages as alonzo. It means that the number of messages Bill sent is 4x.

Kala sent 7 more messages than alonzo. It means that the number of messages Kala sent is x + 7

Kala, bill alonzo sent a total of 97 text messages during the weekend.

It means that

x + 4x + x + 7 = 97

6x + 7 = 97

6x = 97 - 7 = 90

x = 90/6

x = 15

The number of messages that Bill sent is

4 × 15 = 60

The number of messages that Kala sent is

15 + 7 = 22
