Ages of George = 26; Christopher = 18; Ford = 16

Christopher age = x
George age, y = x + 8---------->(1)
Ford age, z = x - 2------------>(2)
Sum of their ages, x+y+z=60---->(3)
Substitute z and y values in equation (3)
Therefore, x+(x+8)+(x-2)=60
=> 3x+8-2=60
=> 3x=60-6
=> 3x=54 =>x=54/3
x=18(Christopher's age)
Substitute x value in equation 1 & 2
y=x+8
y=18+8
y=26(George's age)

z=x-2
z=18-2
z=16(Ford's age)
