  • abigail = x
    andrew = x + 11
    mother = 3x
    father = 2 (x+11) = 2x + 22

    a.i. andrew's age = x + 11
    a.ii. mother's age = 3x

    b.i.  x + x + 11 + 3x + 2x + 22 = 138
    b.ii. x + x + 11 + 3x + 2x + 22 = 138
           7x + 33 = 138
           7x = 138 - 33
           7x = 105
             x = 105/7
             x = 15
    b.iii father = 2.15 + 22 = 30 + 22 = 52
           andrew = x + 11 = 15 + 11 = 26
           the father's age when andrew was born = 52-26 = 26
