To solve this problem, we need to recognize that Harry's age is given as "n". We can use this value and the given information to write expressions representing each person's age.

For Example, Jo is 2 years older than Harry and Harry's age is represented by the variable n. This means that n (Harry's age) plus 2 would equal Jo's age. This can be represented by the expression: n +2.

Next, we know that Kate is twice as old as Jo, and Jo's age is represented by the expression n+2. This means that 2 times Jo's age would be equal to Kate's age, or Kate's age = 2(n+2) or 2n +4.

Therefore, your answer is that Jo's age is n + 2 and Kate's age is 2n + 4.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The first partner will receive $52950, the second partner will receive $35300, the third partner will receive $88250.

Step-by-step explanation:

The profits in the business are to be shared by the three partners in the ratio of 3 to 2 to 5, in that order.

That is:

3 : 2 : 5

The profit for the year was $176,500.

To find the number of dollars that each partner, we have to first find the total ratio and then divide each of the ratios by the total ratio and multiply by the profit.

The total ratio is:

3 + 2 + 5 = 10

The first partner will receive 3/10 of the profits:

$\frac{3}{10} * 176500$ = $52950
