Answer 1

Answer:

KOJO IS TWICE AS OLD AS ESI WHO IN TURN IS 5 YEAR OLDER THAN KWEKU. IF THEIR TOTAL AGE IS 47,HOW OLD IS EACH OF THEM

-----------------

Let Kweku be "x" yrs. old.

Then ESI is "x+5" yrs old

And KOJO is 2(x+5) yrs old

------------------------

EQUATION:

x + x+5 + 2x+10 = 47

4x+15 = 47

4x = 32

x = 8 (Kweku's age)

x+5 = 13 (ESI's age)

2x+10 = 26 (Kojo's age)
