Answer:
48 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the complete question is "The ratio of ages of kissi and esinam is 3:5 and that of esinam and lariba is 3:5. The sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years. whats the age difference between oldest and youngest ?"
It is given that
Kissi : Esinam = 3:5 = 9:15
Esinam : Lariba = 3:5 = 15:25
So, the combined ratio is Kissi : Esinam : Lariba = 9:15:25
Let ages of Kissi, Esinam, Lariba are 9x, 15x and 25x.
Sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years.
The value of x is 3. So, the age of all three are
Since Lariba is oldest and Kissi is youngest, therefore, the difference between their ages is
Hence, difference between oldest and youngest is 48 years.

Explanation:
[to solve for y, first use the properties of equality to simplify the equation]
5y + 3 = 8y − 5 + 2y
5y + 3 = (8y + 2y) – 5
[regroup the like terms of y together: commutative property of equality ; adding in a different order will still give you the same result]
5y + 3 = 10y – 5
[combine like terms]
5y + 3 = 10y – 5
[subtract 3 from both sides in order to eliminate the constant term on the left side: subtraction property of equality]
5y = 10y – 8
–10y –10y
[subtract 10 from both sides in order to eliminate the variable term: subtraction property of equality]
-5y = -8
÷(-5) ÷(-5)
[divide both sides by -5 to cancel out the coefficient of y: division property of equality]
y = 8/5
