~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let T be an amount Teresa has (in dollars).

Then Brian has 3T dollars, Rafael has T + 10.

The "value" equation is 

T + B + R = 105,  or

T + 3T + (T+10) = 105,  or

5T = 105 - 10  --->  5T = 95  --->  T =  = 19.

Answer.  T has 19, B has 3*19 = 57, R has T + 10 = 29.
