To find the ages of Sam and Jack, we can use the information given. Let's assume Sam's age is x years.
According to the problem, Tom is 6 years old and three years older than Sam. So, Tom's age would be x + 3.
Additionally, Tom is twice as old as Jack. Therefore, Jack's age would be (x + 3) / 2.
Now we can set up an equation to solve for x:
(x + 3) / 2 = 6
To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
x + 3 = 12
Next, we subtract 3 from both sides:
x = 9
Therefore, Sam is 9 years old, Tom is 12 years old, and Jack is 6 years old.
