    Scott sent 23 msgs, Elsa sent 16 and Miguel sent 4 (16), or 64 msgs.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Didn't you mean "their cell phones?"

    Represent the # of Scott's messages by s. Then Elsa sent s - 7 msgs, and Miguel sent 4 (s - 7) msgs.

    Then s + s - 7 + 4s - 28 = 103, and

    6s - 35 = 103, or

    6s = 138

    Then s = 138/6, or s = 23.

    Scott sent 23 msgs, Elsa sent 16 and Miguel sent 4 (16), or 64 msgs.

    Note that 23 + 16 + 64 = 103.
