Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let jon age be x

dad age is 2 of x i.e 2x

grandpa age is 7 + 3(x)

The sum of jon dad and grandpa age is 145 i.e

x + 2x + (7+3x) = 145

3x +. 7 + 3x = 145

6x = 145- 7

6x = 138

divide both sides by 6

x = 23

jon age is 23

while

grandpa age is

7 + 3(x)

7 + 3(23)

7 + 69

76.
