Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

Mr. Pinter's class has x students.

Mrs. Rupert's class has y students.

Mrs. Althouse's class has z students.

Mr. Pinter's class has twice as many students as Mrs. Rupert's class.

This means that:

Mrs. Althouse's class has 20 less than three times Mrs. Rupert's class.

This means that:

Together they have 106 students.

This means that:

We have x and z has a function of y, so:

And:

Mr. Pinter's class has 42 students, Mrs. Rupert's class has 21 students, and Mrs. Althouse's class has 43 students.
