Over the last three evenings, Elsa received a total of 110 phone calls at the call center. The first evening, she received 10 fewer calls than the third evening. The second evening, she received 4 times as many calls as the third evening. How many phone calls did she receive each evening?

first evening, 10 calls, second evening 80 calls, third evening, 20 calls.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the number of calls received during the first evening is X, then the number of calls received during the third evening is X+10 as the third evening received 10 more calls than first evening. The second evening received 4 times of third so 4X+10. Add them up together and put them equal to 110.

X+10+X+4X+40=110

6X+50=110

6X=110-50

6X=60

X=10

First evening, 10 calls,

second evening 80 calls; 4X+40, 4(10)+40=80

third evening 20 calls; X+10, (10)+10=20

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5
