👥 Age Relationship Puzzle 👥

Let’s break it down step by step:

C’s age = x

B’s age = 2x (twice as old as C)

A’s age = 2x + 2 (two years older than B)

Total age = A’s age + B’s age + C’s age

= (2x + 2) + 2x + x

= 5x + 2

Given total age = 27:

5x + 2 = 27

Subtract 2 from both sides:

5x = 25

Divide by 5:

x = 5

Now, find B’s age:

B’s age = 2x

= 2(5)

= 10

B is 10 years old. 👥
