Answer: Jackson has $75

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the amount of money Christabelle has  = x

Let the amount of money Jackson has = 3x

and the amount of money Janessa has= 3x+ 263

Such that the total money they all have which = $438 be expressed as

Christabelle's money  +Jackson's money + Janessa's money= $438

x+ 3x+ 3x+ 263  =  438

Step 2 ---Solving

x+ 3x+ 3x+ 263=438

7x= 438-263

7x=175

x =175/7

x=25

 Therefore,

Christabelle = $25

Jackson = 3x= 3 x25 = $75

Janessa= 3x+ 263= $75+263=$338
