Answer:

Onyango is 48, his daughter is 16 and his son is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call Onyango's age x, therefore his daughter and son's ages are 1/3 x and 1/4 x respectively. We can write:

x + 8 = 12 + (1/3x + 8 + 1/4x + 8)

x + 8 = 7/12x + 28

5/12x = 20

x = 48 → 1/3x = 48 / 3 = 16, 1/4x = 48 / 4 = 12

A girl scout troop sold cookies. If the girls sold 5 more boxes the second week than they did the first, and if they doubled the
mihalych1998 [28]
We can let x be the number of boxes sold for the first week. We can as well express the number of boxes for the second and third week through x using the statements provided.

Since the girl scout sold 5 more boxes on the second week, we have (x + 5) number of boxes sold for the second week. Now, for the third week, since it's double that of the second week, we have 2(x + 5). Thus, we have the following:

first week: x
second week: x + 5
third week: 2(x + 5)

Given that the total number of boxes sold for the three weeks is 431. We have

x + (x + 5) + 2(x + 5) = 431
x + x + 5 + 2x + 10 = 431
4x + 15 = 431
4x = 431 - 15
4x = 416
x = 104

We have now the value of x. Using this, we can find the values for the second and third week.
x + 5 = `104 + 5 = 109
2(x + 5) = 2(109) = 218

Answer: 
first week: 104
second week: 109
third week: 218
