Answer:

Zoe is 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vera - V

Zoe - Z

Paul - P

V = 3Z

Z = [tex]\frac{1}{3}V[/tex]

V = 2P

P = [tex]\frac{1}{2}V[/tex]

V + Z + P = 33

[tex]V + \frac{1}{3}V + \frac{1}{2}V = 33[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{6} V + \frac{2}{6}V + \frac{3}{6}V = 33[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{6}V = 33[/tex]

[tex]V = 33 * \frac{6}{11}[/tex]

[tex]V = 3 * \frac{6}{1}[/tex]

[tex]V = 18[/tex]

V = 3Z

18 = 3Z

Z = 6
