Answer:

Emily: 13, Peter: 9, Joshua: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Emily = x

Peter = Emily - 4 = x - 4

Joshua = 2(Peter) = 2(x - 4)

Total = 40 = Emily + Peter + Joshua = (x) + (x - 4) + 2(x - 4)

40 = 2x - 4 + 2x -8

40 = 4x - 4 - 8

40 = 4x - 12

52 = 4x

x = 13

Emily = 13

Peter = 13 - 4 = 9

Joshua = 2(13 - 4) = 2(9) = 18

13 + 9 +18 = 40
