Chole is 5 years older than Mia
----
C = M + 5
---
and Emma is triple choles age.
---
E = 3C
---
Double the sum of Chloe's and Mia's age is 1 more then Emma's age.
---
2*(C+M) = E + 1
---
What are their ages now?
----------
2*(C+M) = E + 1
2*(C+M) = 3C + 1
2*(M+5 + M) = 3(M+5) + 1
4M+10 = 3M+16
M = 6
C = 11
E = 33
