Step-by-step explanation:

•Priya's age = 15 years,

•Amirah's age = (15 + 4) = 19 years

•Shirley's age = (x - 2) = 13 years

Let Priya 's age = x years

Amirah's age = (x + 4) years

Shirley's age = (x - 2) years

✦To find, their respective ages = ?

According to question:

⇒ x+(x+4)+(x-2) = 47

⇒ 3x+2 = 47

⇒ 3x = 47-2 = 45

⇒x = 45/3

⇒ x = 15

∴ Priya's age = 15 years

∴ Amirah's age = (15 + 4) = 19 years

∴ Shirley's age = (x - 2) = 13 years
