Answer: Jenny = 6 | Kim = 7 | (Unknown Sister because no name) = 44

Explanation:

Jenny = 6 years (that we already know)

6 x 2 = 12 - 5 = 7 years for Kim

7 + 6 = 13

To find the unknown age of the last sister, we will subtract 57 - 13 = 44

So the last sister is 44.

(I am very sorry if this is wrong, I am only in Middle School).
