Answer:

Sushill's age = 21

Stephens age = 23

Krutika = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to start somewhere, so let's call Sushill's ages as x.

Sushill's age = x

Stephens age = x +2

Krutika = x - 4

All x ages together is 61 so...

x + x + 2 + x - 4 = 61

3x - 2 = 61

3x = 61 + 2

x = 63/3

63/3 = 21 so now you know all ages because x = 21

Sushill's age = x

Stephens age = x +2

Krutika = x - 4

The answer is:

Sushill's age = 21

Stephens age = 23

Krutika = 17
