Designate the number of wrong sums for each person by the first letter of their names, c, j, and w. From the statement of the problem, c = j + 4, w = c + 4 = j + 4 + 2 = j +6, and c + j + w = 16. Substituting for c and w in terms of j:

(j + 4) + j + (j + 6) = 16, or

3j + 10 = 16, or

3j = 6, or

j = 6/3 = 2.
