Question

Tiki, Alan, and Hans sent a total of 102 text messages during the weekend. Hans sent 2 times as many messages as Alan. Tiki sent 6 more messages than Alan. How many messages did they each send ?

Answer 1

Alan = 24, Tiki = 30, Hans = 48

Explanation:

let x be the number of texts alan sent

`x + 2x + x + 6 = 102\\4x + 6 = 102\\4x = 96\\x = 24`

Alan: 24

Tiki: 24 + 6 = 30

Hans: 24 * 2 = 48
