Step-by-step explanation:

given,

Harry = 3yrs

Andy = 2x ( twice as old as sam )

sam = x

their sum = 27

a/q

→ 2x + x + 3 = 27

→ 3x = 27 - 3 = 24

→ x = 24/3 = 8

→ x = 8

therefore, age of sam is 8 and Andy is 16 and Harry is 3.

the equation is

2x + x + 3 = 27

hope this answer helps you..and may u have a great day ahead!
