given, let marks age be 'x'
\n" ); document.write( " ken age is 2+14x
\n" ); document.write( " aslye age is 2x-1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " now,sum (addition) of all the three ages is 35
\n" ); document.write( " so;
\n" ); document.write( " x+2+14x+2x-1 = 35
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " 17x+1 = 35
\n" ); document.write( " ( adding -1 on both sides )\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 17x = 35-1
\n" ); document.write( " 17x=34
\n" ); document.write( " x = 34/17
\n" ); document.write( " thereore the value of x is 2
\n" ); document.write( " so mark age is = 2
\n" ); document.write( " ken age is 2+14(2) = 30
\n" ); document.write( " aslye age is 2(2)-1 = 3
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
