Answer:

Jewel is 7 years old

John is 1 year old

Dave is 17 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Jewel age is [tex]J=7 years[/tex]

John age [tex]J'=(D-16)years[/tex]

Dave's age a Year ago

 [tex]D-1=2(J-1+J'-1)[/tex]

So that Dave.s age this Year could be

 [tex]D=2((J-1)+(J'-1))+1[/tex]

Simplifying Equation for Dave's age we have

 [tex]D=2((7)-1+(D-16)-1)+1[/tex]

 [tex]D=2(6+D-15)+1[/tex]

 [tex]D=2(D-9)+1[/tex]

 [tex]D=2D-18+1[/tex]

 [tex]D=17 Years[/tex]

Dave is 17 years old

Therefore

Johns age is

 [tex]J'=(D-16)[/tex]

 [tex]J'=17-16[/tex]

 [tex]J'=1year old[/tex]

John is 1 year old
