2x = Sergio's age {Sergio is twice as old as Inga} x + 3 = Nage's age {Inga is 3 years younger than Nage} x + 2x + x + 3 = 63 {the sum of their ages is 63} 4x + 3 = 63 {combined like terms} 4x = 60 {subtracted 3 from each side} x = 15 {divided each side by 3} x + 3 = 18 {Nage's age is x + 3} B.) 18 - Algebra House
