Answer provided by our tutors

let


h = the money Hannah has


f = the money Francine has


p = the money Peter has


Hannah and Francine have $120:


h + f = 120


Hannah and Peter have $230:


h + p = 230


Peter has 6 times as much money as Francine:


p = 6f


by solving the system of equations:


h + f = 120


h + p = 230


p = 6f


we find:


h = $98
