Answer 1

James is 19 years old.Mindy is 21 years old. Laura is 63 years old.

Explanation:

Let James age be x.

Then Mindy will be x + 2

Then Laura will be 3(x + 2)

If they sum up, the total age is 103 years.

3(x + 2) + x + 2 + x = 103

3x + 6 + x + 2 + x = 103

5x + 8 = 103

5x = 95

x = 19 years

James is 19 years old.

Then Mindy is (x + 2)

→ 19 + 2

→ 21 years old

Then Laura shall be 3(x + 2)

→ 3(19 + 2)

→ 3(21)

→ 63 years old
