You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = linda's dollar amount
y = ali's dollar amount
z = charlie's dollar amount
---
x + y + z = 119
z = 4y
x = y - 7
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y + z = 119
4y - z = 0
x - y = -7
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
