The first formula looks about as simple as you can get it.
For the second problem, without the comma, I first thought Adam Imran was one name. I had to read it several times to understand. Proofread your question before you post it.
If x = Adam, then Imran = x -3, and Shakeel = 2(x - 3)
Those terms should add up to 39.
I hope this helps.
