Answer:
Farah: x
Ibtisam: x-3
Muna: 2(x-3) or 2x-6
Sum of all their ages: 4x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Farah is x, so we don't need an expression for that.
Ibtisam is 3 years younger than Farah, which means that we need to subtract 3 from Farah, and that would be Ibtisam's age. x-3.
Muna is 2 TIMES Ibtisam's age, so we need to multiply whatever expression taht was used for Ibtisam by 2. Put brackets around the equation with 2 outside: 2(x-3). Solve and you get 4x-6
Now, you have all their ages in expression form, now you need to simplify by adding:
x+x+2x-6
We cannot simplify -6, so we put that aside. Add all the x's and you get 4x, insert the minus 6 at the end:
4x-6
Hope this helps!

Answer:
a) X -3
b) 4x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Farah's age is X so Ibtisam will be X - 3 old since he is 3years younger than Farah
b) Farah is X years old
Ibtisam is X - 3 years old
Muna is 2(X -3) since she is 2 times older than Ibtisam.
the sum of Thier ages will be
X + X -3 + 2(x-3)
= 2x - 3 + 2x - 6
= 4x - 9
