Ashley, Milan, and Carlos sent a total of 131 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Carlos sent 7 times as many messages as Ashley. Ashley sent 4 more messages than Milan. How many messages did they each send?

Ashley= 15

Milan= 11

Carlos= 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, A, M and C denotes Ashley, Milan and Carlos respectively.

A+M+C= 131 (according to the question)

Here,

C= 7A

A= M+ 4

So, M= A - 4

Now,

A+M+C = 131

or, A+ A-4+ 7A = 131 (putting the values)

or, 9A - 4 = 131 (adding like terms i.e. A + A + 7A)

or, 9A = 131 + 4

or, 9A = 135

or, A = 135 / 9

So, A = 15

C= 7A = 7×15= 105

M= A-4 = 15 - 4 = 11

answer: y = -2.5x - 15

              (-6,0)

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   35 % is the probability of a late departure or an early arrival.

step-by-step explanation:

let l represents the late departure and e represents the early departure.

then, according to the question,

p(l) = 12 %,   p(e) = 27 % and = 4 %

and, we have to find out,

but, we know that,

which is the required equation that will use to find the probability of a late departure or an early departure.

therefore,   the probability of a late departure or an early arrival =   35 %
