Answer 1

Question :

Amirah is 4years older than priya and Shirley is 2 years younger than priya if the sum of their ages is 47 find their ages.

Answer :

Age of priya, amirah and shirley is 15, 19 and 13 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the age of Priya be x.

Then, Amirah's age = x + 4

Shirley's age = x - 2

Given, the sum of their ages = 47 years

According to question,

⇒ x + x + 4 + x - 2 = 47

⇒ 3x + 2 = 47

⇒ 3x = 47 - 2

⇒ 3x = 45

⇒ x = 45/3

⇒ x = 15

So,

Priya's age = x = 15 years

Amirah's age = x + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19 years

Shirley's age = x - 2 = 15 - 2 = 13 years
