Ted is 𝑥 years old. His Aunt is four times and old as he is while his daughter
is half his Aunt’s age.
Write an expression in 𝑥 to represent the sum of their ages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


If  Ted is  x  years old,  then his aunt is  4x  years old,

and then  Ted's daughter is  2x  years old,  according to the problem's description.


Thus,  according to the post,  Ted's daughters age is twice the  Ted's age.


If it seems to be strange/absurdist to you   (as it seems to me . . . ),
then you can delete/erase your post,  in order for do not litter the Internet.
