I'll use t for the messages Teresa sent, e for messages Eric sent, and r for messages Ryan sent.
Therefore we have, t+e+r=99.
From the text we also know:
e=3r ; r=t+6
If we substitute in the original equation we get:
t+3(t+6)+t+6=99; By simplifying it we get
5t=75 , therefore t=75/5=15.
Since Teresa send 15 messages,Ryan sent 6 more then here, so he send 21. Eric sent three times the
messages Ryan sent so he sent 63 messages. If we add them together 15+21+63, we get the total of 99 messages.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to do this we need to isolate y by performing the inverse operations on the other values like so...
a) 10x + 5y = 20 ... subtract 10x on both sides
5y = 20 - 10x ... divide both sides by 5
y = 4 - 2x ... we can move the 2x to the right to make it into y = mx + b
y = -2x + 4
b) 3x - 2y = 10 + 4x ... subtract 3x on both sides
-2y = 10 + x ... divide both sides by -2
y = -5 - 0.5x ... move -0.5 to the left so it matches y = mx + b
y = -0.5x - 5
4^(12-4x)=256 realize that 256 is 4^4 so we really have:
4^(12-4x)=4^4 taking the natural log of both sides
(12-4x)ln4=4ln4 dividing both sides by ln4
12-4x=4 subtract 12 from both sides
-4x=-8 divide both sides by -4
x=2
