Question

i need the answer asap

Answer 1

Let Yokobe  X

 

Henry be Y

 

Juan be  Z

 

Then  X+Y+Z=$109

X=Z-5

Y=4Z

 

Plug in the new values for X and Y in terms of Z in the first equation

 

(Z-5)+4Z+Z=109     solving for Z=19  So X=14   Y=76  

Yoko has  $14   Henry has $76  and Juan has $19
