Eric has twice as much money as Marcia, who has $175 less than Laurel. But Laurel has as much money as Eric and Marcia combined. How much does each person have?

laurel--------x

Marcia------------x-175

Eric -----------2(x-75)

x=(x-175)+2(x-175)


x=x-175+2x-350

x=262.50  Laurel

Marcia----87.50

Eric = 2(x-175)
