To find out how many text messages Jerry and Kyle sent, we need to determine the number of messages each of them sent individually.
Given:
Ginger sent 18 text messages yesterday.
Jerry sent 4 more than twice as many messages as Ginger sent.
Kyle sent 15 fewer messages than Jerry.
Let's determine the number of messages Jerry sent first:
Twice the number of messages Ginger sent: 2 * 18 = 36
Jerry sent 4 more messages than twice the number Ginger sent: 36 + 4 = 40
Now, let's calculate the number of messages Kyle sent:
Kyle sent 15 fewer messages than Jerry: 40 - 15 = 25
Finally, let's add up the number of messages Jerry and Kyle sent:
Jerry sent 40 messages.
Kyle sent 25 messages.
Total messages sent by Jerry and Kyle = 40 + 25 = 65.
Therefore, Jerry and Kyle sent a total of 65 text messages.
