Ken:

Ken's Age = 18

Elizabeth:

Elizabeth's Age = 2/3 x Ken's age

Elizabeth's Age = 2/3 x 18

Elizabeth's Age = 12

Clint:

-Note: At Clint's next birthday. So we need to subtract 1 from the age.

Clint's Age = (2 x Elizabeth's Age) - 1

Clint's Age = (2 x 12) - 1

Clint's Age = 24 - 1

Clint's Age = 23 right now

Hope this helps!! :)
