In the 2004 Olympic games Russia, China and the United States won a total of 96 gold medallions if the United States won 4 more medals than China and the medals achieved by the United States and Russia are twice those obtained by China determine the number of gold medals won by Russia

28

Step-by-step explanation:

x = medals won by Russia

y = medals won by China

z = medals won by United States

Write a system of equations:

x + y + z = 96

z = y + 4

x + z = 2y

Substitute the second equation into the first and third:

x + y + y + 4 = 96

x + y + 4 = 2y

Simplify:

x + 2y = 92

x + 4 = y

Substitute for y:

x + 2(x + 4) = 92

x + 2x + 8 = 92

3x = 84

x = 28

Russia won 28 medals.

Which means China won 32 medals and the US won 36 medals.
