    Raphael: 88 Goran: 22 Lucy: 30

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let g represent the number of messages Goran sent. Then 4g is the number Rafael sent, and g+8 is the number Lucy sent. Their total is ...

    (g+8) + g + 4g = 140

    6g = 132

    g = 22

    g+8 = 30

    4g = 88

    Lucy sent 30 messages; Goran sent 22; and Rafael sent 88.
