    number of message sent by Scott is 23

    number of message sent by Christine is 30

    number of message sent by Milan is 92

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total message sent by Christine, Milan, and Scott : 145

    Let number of message sent by Scott be x.

    Given that Christine sent 7 more messages than Scott

    number of message sent by Christine is x+7

    It is also given that Milan sent 4 times as many messages as Scott

    number of message sent by Milan is 4*x = 4x.

    Thus, sum of message sent by Christine, milan, and Scott in terms of x

    = x + x + 7 + 4x = 6x + 7

    we already know that Total message sent by Christine, milan, and Scott is 145

    thus, 6x + 7 should be equal to 145

    6x + 7 = 145

    =>6x = 145 - 7 = 138

    => x = 138/6 = 23

    Thus,

    number of message sent by Scott is x = 23

    number of message sent by Christine is x+7 = 23+7 = 30

    number of message sent by Milan is 4x = 4*23 = 92
