Christine, milan, and Scott sent a total of 145 messages during the weekend. Christine sent 7 more messages than Scott. Milan sent 4 times as many messages as Scott. How many messages did they each send?

number of message sent by Scott is 23

number of message sent by Christine is 30

number of message sent by Milan is 92

Step-by-step explanation:

Total message sent by Christine, Milan, and Scott : 145

Let number of message sent by Scott be x.

Given that Christine sent 7 more messages than Scott

number of message sent by Christine is x+7

It is also given that Milan sent 4 times as many messages as Scott

number of message sent by Milan is 4*x = 4x.

Thus, sum of message sent by Christine, milan, and Scott in terms of x

= x + x + 7 + 4x = 6x + 7

we already know that Total message sent by Christine, milan, and Scott is 145

thus, 6x + 7 should be equal to 145

6x + 7 = 145

=>6x = 145 - 7 = 138

=> x = 138/6 = 23

Thus,

number of message sent by Scott is x = 23

number of message sent by Christine is x+7 = 23+7 = 30

number of message sent by Milan is 4x = 4*23 = 92
