Let M stand for Martha's age. Let N stand for Ned's age.
M = 2*N
M+N=24
2*N+N=24
3*N=24
N=8
M=2*8 = 16
Ned is 8 and Martha is 16.

Sarah is twice as old as his youngest brother If the difference between their ages is 15 years How old is her youngest brother?

Sarah's age is 30 years right now. Her youngest brother's age is 15 years. --- Algebraically, this results from the equations where S is Sarah's age, x her brother's age : S=2x and S-x=15, where substitution provides 2x-x = 15 and x = 15.


Tom's age is three less than twice the age of his brother Dick The sum of their ages is twenty-seven find the ages of each brother?

If x is the Dick's age, then Tom's age is 2x - 3. So, x + 2x - 3 = 27 3x - 3 = 27 3x -3 + 3 = 27 + 3 3x = 30 3x/3 = 30/3 x = 10 2x - 3 = 2(10) - 3 = 17 Thus, Dick is 10 years old and Tom is 17 years old.
