Answer:

Christine has $18, Kareem has $23, and Trey has $92.

Explanation:

This can be solved by using variables to represent the unkown values.

x = Christine's money

x + 5 = Kareem's money.

4(x + 5) = Trey's money.

x + (x + 5) + 4(x + 5) = 133

2x + 5 + 4x + 20 = 133

6x = 108

x = $18

This means that Christine has $18, Kareem has $23, and Trey has $92.

Hope this helps
