Question

Maryellen's mother is 8 more than twice her age. Her father is three years older than her mother is. if the three family members have lived a total of 94 years, how old is each family member?

Answer 1

Maryellen would be 15, because if her mother is twice that plus 8 that would make her 38. Then, if Maryellen's dad is 3 years older than the mom that means he is 41. Add all the ages, 94.
