Answer:
John’s age is 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> John’s father's age
y -----> John’s age
z -----> John’s sister's age
we know that
-----> equation A
-----> equation B
-----> equation C
Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for y
Multiply by 2 both sides to remove the fraction
<em>Find the value of x</em>
<em>Find the value of z</em>
therefore
John’s father's age is 40 years
John’s age is 8 years
John’s sister's age is 4 years
