I don't know if you're asking how to solve it or the answer. Marcia has $78.

Answer 3

sue has $54, marcia has $78

Answer 4

M-Marcia

S-Sue

3S-84=M

M+S=132

M=132-S

3S-84=132-S

4S=132+84=226

S=216/4=54

M=132-54=78

Answ: Marcia has $78

Answer 5

S+M=132

3S-84=M

S+3S-84=132

4S=216

S=54

M=78

Marcia has $78

Answer 6

m= 3x-84 3*(54)-84 162-84 78

s= x 54 54

132 132 132

x+3x-84

132= 4x-84

+84 +84

216= 4x

/4 /4

54= x

Marcia has $78.00

Answer 7

s = money sue has

m = 3s - $84

s + m = $132

s + (3s-$84) = $132

4s - $84 = $132

4s = $132 + $84

4s = $216

s = $54

m = 3($54) - $84 = $162 - $84 = $78
