Answer:
Gouri's age is 4 years
Rashmi's age is 7 years
Sutapa's age is 9 years
- Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine,gouri's age is x years
rashmi's age y years
sutapa's age is z years
1st equation is: x=y-3
2nd equation is: z=y+2
3rd equation is: x+y+z=20
From the first equation we get: y=x+3
Then,by substituting the value of y into the 2nd equation we get:
z=x+5
Then,by substituting the values of x,y,z into the 3rd equation,we get:
y-3+x+3+x+5=20
or, 2x+y+5=20
or, 2x+x+3+5=20
or, 3x+8=20
or, 3x=12
or, x=12/3=4
so, gouri is 4 years old
then,rashmi's age is: 4+3=7 years
Then,sutapa's age is : 7+2=9 years
