Applying algebra, we can conclude that: Jerry sent 40 messages, and Kyle sent 25 messages.
Let's use algebra to solve this problem.
Let's represent the number of messages Ginger sent as "G," the number of messages Jerry sent as "J," and the number of messages Kyle sent as "K."
We are given the following information:
Ginger sent 18 text messages, so G = 18.
Jerry sent 4 more than twice as many messages as Ginger sent, so J = 2G + 4.
Kyle sent 15 fewer messages than Jerry, so K = J - 15.
Now, let's substitute the value of G from the first equation into the second equation to find the value of J:
J = 2 * 18 + 4
J = 36 + 4
J = 40
Now that we know Jerry sent 40 messages, we can find Kyle's number of messages using the third equation:
K = 40 - 15
K = 25
So, Jerry sent 40 messages, and Kyle sent 25 messages.
