D = 3S
(42+10) + S+10 + D+10 = 100
Substitute 3S for D in the second equation and solve for S. Insert that value into the first equation to solve for D. Check by putting both values into the second equation.

(42+10)+(s+10)+(d+10)=100
72+s+d=100
s+d=28
d=3s so you can plug it in
s+3s=28
4s=28
s=7
d=22
72+s+d=100
s+d=28
d=3s so you can plug it in
s+3s=28
4s=28
s=7
d=22
