Answer 1

Answer: Bridge is 21 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so after reading the question I already know that B (Bridget), A (Angad) and P (Paul) is 49 in the sum of age. I also know that B=A+5 and P=A-4. After that I can assume B=P+5+4. So now after we gather everything, the age of all of them is the same if we delete 5, 4, 4 (From B=P+5+4 and P=A-4). 49-5-4-4=36. So now lets assume they are all 12 (36/3=12). B is 5 years older so lets add 5 to B. B=17, A=12 and P=8. 8+12+17= 37. We now know that but 37 is 12 under 49, so lets add the average 12/3=4 so we add 4 to all of them. B=21 A=16 P=12. 21+16+12=49. So Bridge is 21 years old, Angad is 16 years old and Paul is 12 years old
