Sagot :

The age of Kwaku is 8 years old , Esi is 13 years old and Kojo is 26 years old.

What is an Equation ?

An equation is a statement that contains algebraic expressions equated by an equal sign with constants or other variables.

Let the age of Kwaku is x

Let the age of Esi is y

From the given data

The age of Kojo is 2y

y = x +5

Sum of their age = 47

2y = 2x +10

therefore the equation formed is

x + y +2y = 47

x + x+5 + 2x +10 = 47

4x +15 = 47

4x = 32

x = 8

y = 13

2y = 26

Therefore Kwaku is 8 years old , Esi is 13 years old and Kojo is 26 years old.
