Christine, henry, and manuel have a total of $109 in their wallets. manuel has 3 times what christine has. christine has $9 less than henry. how much do they have in their wallets?

Christine has $20, Manuel has $60 and Henry has $29

let x be the amount Christine has then

Manuel has 3x and Henry x + 9

summing the amounts gives the equation

x + 3x + x + 9 = 109

5x + 9 = 109 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

5x = 100 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 20

thus Christine has $29, Manuel has (3 × 20 ) =$60 and

Henry has 20 + 9 = $29

check : 20 + 60 + 29 = 109

step-by-step explanation:

because first you have to add the 4x, 9x, and the 7x together and you get 20x and then you add the last numbers up and you get 5and then you put the subtraction sign in there and that's how you get the answer.
