how old is each person.
If jose is five years older than amanda.
j = a + 5
:
Mike is twice as old as jose.
m = 2j
replace j with (a+5)
m = 2(a+5)
m = 2a + 10
:
bill is three times as old as amanda.
b = 3a
:
You have to assume someone's age here. Let Amanda = 10
then: Jose is 15; Mike is 30; Bill is 30
