Explanation
It’s an algebra question with numbers for answer choices, so set up your scratch paper to plug in the answers. Start with choice (C): If Emma is 17, then Merrick is 14, and Aliza is 22. That’s too young, so eliminate choices (A), (B), and (C). Now try choice (D): If Emma is 20, then Merrick is 17, and Aliza is 25. That’s old enough, so select choices D, E, and F.
