Rose's father is thrice as old as Rose.Also,Rose's age is double that of her brother Pete.After 12 years the father's age will be twice that of his daughter.Find the present age of Pete and Rose.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

F __________________ F+ 12
R ___________________R + 12
P ___________________P + 12

F = 3R
R = 2P

F + 12 = 2(R + 12)

3R + 12 = 2R + 24
R = 12
P = 6
