Rachel, Trey, and Juan sent a total of 85 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Rachel sent 10 more messages than Trey. Juan sent 3 times as many messages as Rachel. How many messages did they each send?

Trey = 9 text messages

Rachel = 19 text messages

Juan = 57 text messages

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of messages Trey sent = x

Number of messages Rachel sent = x + 10

Number of messages Juan sent = 3(x + 10)

Total messages = 85

Total = Trey + Rachel + Juan

85 = x + (x + 10) + 3(x + 10)

85 = x + x + 10 + 3x + 30

85 = 5x + 40

85 - 40 = 5x

45 = 5x

x = 45/5

x = 9

Number of messages Trey sent = x = 9 text messages

Number of messages Rachel sent = x + 10

= 9 + 10

= 19 text messages

Number of messages Juan sent = 3(x + 10)

= 3(9 + 10)

= 3(19)

= 57 text messages
