Answer 1

Answer with no work? That's not what we do here.

Answer 2

Step one is translate into algebraic statements.

"Jorge has 2 more than three times the number of video games as Ismael."
-> x=2+3y : x=Jorge, y=Ismael

"John has 5 less than Jorge."
-> z=x-5 : z=John

"Three of them together have 62."
-> x+y+z=62

"How many do they each have?"
-> Find (x,y,z).
