Answer 2

Answer:

Peter is 18, Pol is 21 and Mary is 26 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pe + Po = 39 .......A

Pe + M = 44   .......B

Po + M = 47   ........C

Equation B - Equation C gives:

Pe - Po + M - M = 44 - 47

Pe - Po = -3

Add this equation to A:

2Pe + Po - Po = 39 - 3

2Pe = 36

Pe = 18.

Substituting for Pe in B

18 + M = 44

M = 44 - 18 = 26.

Substituting for M in C:

Po + 26 = 47

Po = 47 - 26 = 21.
