jin bed and brishir raised 135.78 for there soccer team. deb raised 34 less than bashir who raised 29 more than jin. how much did jin raise

Answer 1

Let J be the amount Jin raised, D be the amount Deb raised, and B be the amount Brishir raised

1). J + B + D = 135.78

2). D = B - 34

3). B = J + 29

Substitute Equations 2 and 3 into Equation 1:

4) J + (J + 29) + (B - 34) = 135.78

Substitute Equation 3 into 4:

J + (J + 29) + ((J + 29) - 34) = 135.78

3J = 135.78 - 29 - 29 + 34 = 111.78

J = 37.26
