Answer:

Jay has 8 computer games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of computer games Sherry has

y -----> the number of computer games Jay has

z -----> the number of computer games  Nairan has

we know that

[tex]x=5y[/tex] ----> equation A

[tex]z=3y[/tex] ----> equation B

[tex]x=z+16[/tex] ----> equation C

Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for y

[tex]5y=3y+16[/tex]

[tex]5y-3y=16[/tex]

[tex]2y=16[/tex]

[tex]y=8[/tex]

therefore

Jay has 8 computer games
