Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): The Variables

The variables are the ages of Jaime, Crystal and Marissa;

Let

x represents Jaime's age;

y represents Crystal's age;

z represents Marissa's age

Solving (b): Equation

x = 3 + y

z = 2x

x + y + z = 45

Solving (c): Result of the equations

x = 3 + y -- (1)

z = 2x -- (2)

x + y + z = 45 -- (3)

Make y the subject in (1)

y = x - 3

Substitute y = x - 3 and z = 2x in (3)

x + y + z = 45

x + x - 3 + 2x = 45

Collect Like Terms

x + x + 2x = 45 + 3

4x= 48

Solve for x

x = 48/4

x = 12

Substitute x = 12 in y = x - 3 and z = 2x

y = x - 3

y= 12 - 3

y = 9

z = 2x

z = 2 * 12

z = 24

This implies that;

Jaime is 12; Crystal is 9 and Marissa is 24 years old

Solving (d): Essence of the question

The question asks that we solve for the ages of Jaime, Crystal and Marissa
