Let's assume that Jean drove x km.
According to the given information, Marc drove twice as much as Jean, so Marc drove 2x km.
Michelle drove 100km more than Marc, so Michelle drove 2x + 100 km.
The total distance driven by all three is the sum of the distances driven by each individual:

Distance driven by Jean: x km
Distance driven by Marc: 2x km
Distance driven by Michelle: 2x + 100 km

The total distance driven by all three is given as not exceeding 1350km:

x + 2x + 2x + 100 = 1350

Simplifying the inequality:

5x + 100 = 1350

Subtracting 100 from both sides:

5x = 1250

Dividing both sides by 5:

x = 250

Since x represents the distance driven by Jean, the value for x is 250 km.

Answer: Jean drove 250 km.
