Maybe you meant to write this way:
===============================================
Mrs Wilson is 3 years younger than her husband who is twice as old old as their son, Arnold.
The son is 5 years older than 1/5 the sum of his parents ages.
=============================================== 
Mrs. Wilson (Mother)        2A-3
Husband                     2A
Arnold (son)                 A

According to the description, A=5%2B%281%2F5%29%28%282A-3%29%2B2A%29.

.
.
highlight%28A=22%29
Mrs. Wilson (Mother)         41
Husband                      44
Arnold (son)                 22
