Answer:
Alice's age = 5 years
Malice's age = 5 years
Bob's age = 5+8 =13 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the age (in years of Alice and Malice (They have the same age because they are twins).
Age of Bob: x+8 (because he is 8 years older than the twins).
Then the sum of their three ages is 23:
x (Alice's age) + x (Malice's age) +(x+8 ) (Bob's age)= 23
2x + ( x+8) = 23
3x+8 = 23
3x = 15
(3x)/3 = 15/3
x = 5
So ...
Alice's age = 5 years
Malice's age = 5 years
Bob's age = 5+8 =13 years
