Question

ama is 3 years older than karla and daniel is 2 years older than ama the add their ages is 32, how old is each child

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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
