The ages are consecutive even numbers.
The youngest child is (x+3) years old.
Every even number is 2 more than the one before it.
So the three ages are
(x + 3), (x + 5), and (x + 7).
Their sum is x+3 + x+5 + x+7 = 3x + 15
But we're told that their sum is 42, so we can write
3x + 15 = 42 <== the equation
Subtract 15 from each side: 3x = 27
Divide each side by 3 : x = 9 <== the solution
So the three ages are 12, 14, and 16.
The oldest child is 16 years old.

Answer for number 4 is
hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Maximum hour spent for all homework (English homework + math homework) is 2 hours.
Let us assume the hours spent for English homework be 'e'.
It is given that:
(Hours spent for math homework) = 2 × (Hours spent for English homework)
Hours spent for math homework = 2 × e = 2e
Total hours spent = (Hours spent for math homework) + (Hours spent for English homework)
Total hours spent = 2e + e = 3e
2 = 3e
3e = 2
∴ e = 
Therefore number of hours spent on English homework is equal to
hours.
