Answer :

Answer

Meya's age is 46 year

Eric's age is 23 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Meya age be m

Let Eric's age be e

The combination of Meya and Eric age is equal to Sam age

Sam age = 69 years

Meya is twice Eric's age

This implies that

m = 2e --------------- equation 1

Since the combination of their age will be equal to Sam age

m + e = 69 ------------ equation 2

To find Eric age, substitute the value of Meya age into the above equation

m = 2e

m + e = 69

2e + e = 69

3e = 69

Divide through by 3

3e/3 = 69/3

e = 23 year

Hence, Eric's age is 23 year

Since m = 2e

e = 23

m = 2(23)

m = 46 year
