Step-by-step explanation:

Let jim age be x

So carl age is x+5

And tomy age is x+11

Atq

X+x+5+x+11=31

3x=31-16

X=15/3

X=5

Jim age is 5 and carla age is 10 and tomy age is 21

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Jim be x.

Let's denote Carla's age as C and Tony's age as T

Given that 5+x=C

And 6+C=T

Since C=5+x

T=5+6+x

Given that C+T+x=31

ie 5+6+x+x+5+x=31

3x+16=31

3x=31-16

3x=15

x=5

C=5+x=10

T=5+6+x=16

Jim 5yrs

Carla 10yrs

Tomy 16yrs
