Answer:

dean = 10

franco = 50

helen = 2

steps

you want to get the age of one of the people first

'is' means equal

'older than' means plus

'sum' means total by adding

d

f = 5d

d = 8 + h

d + f + h = 62

make sure there is 1 letter to solve for

d = 8 + h -> h = d - 8

f = 5d

d = d

d + f + h = 62

d + (5d) + (d-8)

7d - 8 = 62

7d = 70

d = 10

f = 50

h = 2
