<h2>
The age of Marks = 2 years, the age of Ken = 30 years and</h2><h2>
the age of Ashley = 3 years</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Marks = x years,
The age of Ken = (14x + 2) years and
The age of Ashley = (2x - 1) years
To find, the age of each child = ?
According to question,
∴ x + (14x + 2) + (2x - 1) = 35
⇒ x + 14x + 2 + 2x - 1 = 35
⇒ 17x + 1 = 35
⇒ 17x = 35 - 1 = 34
⇒ x = 2
∴ The age of Marks = 2 years,
The age of Ken = 14(2) + 2 = 30 years and
The age of Ashley = 2(2) - 1 = 3 years
