    So make them all x

    Jenny = x

    Ali = x+5

    Eric - 2x

    2x + x + 5 + x = 97

    4x = 97 - 5

    x = 23

    Jenny has 23

    ]Ali has 28

    Eric has 46

    J + a + e = 97

    a = j + 5

    e = 2j

    j + j + 5 + 2j = 97

    4j + 5 = 97

    4j = 97 - 5

    4j = 92

    j = 92/4

    j = 23 < = = = what Jenny has

    a = j + 5

    a = 23 + 5

    a = 28 < = = = what Ali has

    e = 2j

    e = 2 (23)

    e = 46 < = = = what Eric has
