Question

cameron is 3 years old older than karlee. karlee is two years older than denise. the sum of cameron,karlee,and denise age is 49. how old is each person?

Answer 1

Subtract 5 (Cameron) and 2 (Karlee) from 49.

Why: Denise's age is basically the basic number. Karlee would be 2 years older, so subtract 2 from 49. You get 47. Cameron is 5 years older than Denise, so subtract 5. You get 42 and divide that by 3 since there are 3 people.

49 - 7 = 42

42 divide by 3 = 14

Check:

14 + 5 = 19

14 + 2 = 16

14 + 0 = 14

19 + 16 + 14 =  49

19 (Cameron) - 16 (Karlee) = 3 years older

16 (Karlee) - 14 (Denise) = 2 years older

19 (Cameron) - 14 (Denise) = 5 years older

Hopes this helps!
