    Brandon's age = 19

    Tania's age = 13

    sha'lieses aga = 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the age of brandion be x and the age of tania be y and the age of sha'lieses be z

    Given the sum of their age's is 37

    x + y + z = 37

    Given that Brandon is 6 years older than Tania which means

    x = y + 6

    Given that tania is 8 years older than sha'lieses

    y = z + 8

    Now x = (z + 8) + 6

    x = z + 14

    substitute x and y in the first equation we get

    (z + 14) + (z + 8) + z = 37

    3z + 22 = 37

    z = 5

    x = z + 14 = 19

    y = z + 8 = 13
