Raina, Kevin, and Dan sent a total of 104 text messages during the weekend.
\n" ); document.write( "r + k + d = 104
\n" ); document.write( " Dan sent 2 times as many messages as Raina.
\n" ); document.write( "d - 2r
\n" ); document.write( " Kevin sent 8 more messages than Raina.
\n" ); document.write( "k = r + 8
\n" ); document.write( "Using the first equation, replace d with 2r; replace k with (r+8)
\n" ); document.write( "r + 2r + (r+8) = 104
\n" ); document.write( "4r = 104 - 8
\n" ); document.write( "r = 96/4
\n" ); document.write( "r = 24 msg by Raina
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "d = 2(24)
\n" ); document.write( "d = 48 msg by Dan
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "k = 24 + 8
\n" ); document.write( "k = 32 msg by Kevin
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that checks out
\n" ); document.write( "24 + 48 + 32 = 104
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
