Best Answer

Jay is 10 years old, Sandy is 5 years old, and Mike is 12 years old.

J = Jay's age

S = Sandy's age

M = Mike's age

J = 2S

J = M - 2

M = S + 7

Substitute S + 7 for M in the second equation, and J = (S + 7) - 2

J = 2S

J = S +5

2S = S +5

S = 5 and J = 10

-checking original equations

10 = 2 x 5

10 = 12 - 2

12 = 5 + 7
