Step 1: Let's calculate how many messages Jerry sent.
Twice as many messages as Ginger sent is 18 * 2 = 36 messages.
Jerry sent 4 more messages than that, which means he sent 36 + 4 = 40 messages.
Step 2: Let's calculate how many messages Kyle sent.
Kyle sent 15 fewer messages than Jerry, so he sent 40 - 15 = 25 messages.
Therefore, Jerry sent 40 messages and Kyle sent 25 messages.
To find out how many text messages Jerry and Kyle sent, we can break down the information provided step by step.
1. According to the given information, Ginger sent 18 text messages yesterday.
2. Jerry sent 4 more than twice as many messages as Ginger sent. To calculate this, we multiply Ginger's number of messages by 2 and then add 4.
Jerry's messages = (2 * Ginger's messages) + 4
Plugging in Ginger's number of messages:
Jerry's messages = (2 * 18) + 4
= 36 + 4
= 40
Therefore, Jerry sent 40 text messages.
3. Kyle sent 15 fewer messages than Jerry. We subtract 15 from Jerry's number of messages.
Kyle's messages = Jerry's messages - 15
Plugging in Jerry's number of messages:
Kyle's messages = 40 - 15
= 25
Therefore, Kyle sent 25 text messages.
In conclusion, Jerry sent 40 text messages, and Kyle sent 25 text messages.
