Answer:

  • Keiko: 17
  • Chang: 24
  • Abdul: 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of messages sent by Chang. Then Keiko sent (c-7) messages, and Abdul sent 4(c-7) messages. The total number sent was ...

  c + (c -7) +4(c -7) = 109

  6c -35 = 109 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  6c = 144 . . . . . . . . . . . add 35

  c = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  c-7 = 17

  4(c-7) = 68

Keiko sent 17, Chang sent 24, and Abdul sent 68 text messages.
