Erin had $35 more than Angie who had 3 times as much money as Jacob. If they had $196 altogether, how much money did each have?

Erin - $104; Angie - $69; Jacob - $23.

(please give me brainlest ❤️)

Step-by-step explanation:

JACOB has least amount of money, so let's say that he has :

x amount of money

ANGIE has 3 times more than jacob:

Angie has 3x

ERIN has $35 more money than Angie:

3x+35

their money together is $196, that means if we add all of their money, it will be equivalent of 196:

3x+35+3x+x=196

now lets find x value.

put all the xes on right side and all known numbers on left side.

i think u know that when it goes to another side it changes sign; for example - makes + and × makes /

3x+35+3x+x=196

7x=161

x=161/7

x=23

now plug x values for each kid:

so Jacob had x=23

Angie had 3x=3×23=69

and Erin had 3x+35=69+35= 104

lets check our

23+69+104=196

196=196

so sum of their money really gives us $196.
