Tom, Dick, and Harry are three brothers and have $107.60 together. Tom feels sorry for hairy because he has less money than Tom. So Tom gives harry $2.10 so they both will have the same amount after the transfer. Dick doesn't know about Tom's gift and he gives $1 to Harry. So Dick and Harry will have the same amount after the transfer. What was the original amount for each boy. ( Hint let x equal original amount of Harry )

Let x be Harry's original amount of money.
Let y be Tom's original amount of money.
Let z be Dick's original amount of money.
x + y + z = 107.60
x + 2.10 + x + 2.10 + z = 107.60
x + 3.10 + x + 2.10 + x + 3.10 = 107.60

Solve the system of equations.
