Hi,
Keisha is 3 years older than Ana. Jermain is twice as old as Keisha's age {{{highlight(x)}}}. 
Monica is 5 years older than Jermain.
Keisha's age: x
Ana's age: x - 3
Jermain's age: 2x
Monica's age: 2x+ 5
Question states*** sum of the ages is 56 
 x + (x-3) + 2x + (2x+5) = 56 || Solve for x
                  6x = 54
                   x = 9 yr, Keisha's age
and...
 {{{ 9 + 6 + 18 + 23 = 56}}}
