Answer:
Salma, joe, and alan sent 14, 69, and 23 text messages respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Salma, joe, and alan sent a total of 106 text messages during the weekend, it means that
s + j + a = 106 where s, j, and a are the number of messages sent by Salma, joe, and alan respectively
Given salma sent 9 fewer messages than alan
s = a - 9
Joe sent 3 times as many messages as alan
j = 3a
hence
a - 9 + 3a + a = 106
5a - 9 = 106
5a = 106 + 9
5a = 115
Divide both sides by 5
a = 115/5
= 23
s = 23 - 9
= 14
j = 3* 23
= 69

(H,H), (H,T), (T,T), (T,H)
Here I have used H for heads and T for Tails... first coin for penny second for nickel...ok
