Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

let 

no of messages sent by dans= x

 no of messages sent by hong = y

no of  messages sent by justin= z


so,

dan hong and Justin sent a total of 123 text messages ,so

x+y+z =123

 hong sent 4 times as many messages as Justin 

y = 4 z

dan sent 9 more messages than Justin 

x= z + 9

these are the equations


now substitute x= z + 9, y = 4 z  in x+y+z =123

then

z+9 + 4z + z =123

6z + 9 =123

z = 114 /6

z =19 ...................................ANSWER


y = 4 z = 4*19 = 76

y= 76......................ANSWER


x= z + 9

x = 19+9

x  = 28...........................ANSWER



ANSWER

dan sent 28 messages

hong sent 76 messages
