just put the words into math:
a = k+3
d = a+2 so d = k+3+2 = k+5
a+k+d = 32
k+3 + k + k+5 = 32
now finish it off
a = k+3
d = a+2 so d = k+3+2 = k+5
a+k+d = 32
k+3 + k + k+5 = 32
now finish it off

We could start by defining karla's age ...
let karla's age be x years
then ama is x+3
daniel is x+2 + 2 = x+5
x + x+3 + x+5 = 32
solve for x, then sub into my definitions
