**9 students **are two-year-old, **18 **students are three-year-old and **18 **students are four-year-old.
What is equation?

**Equation **is defined as a **mathematical statement **that joins two expressions of equal value with the symbol "equal to." A formula would be 3x - 5 = 16, for instance . After solving this equation, we learn that the value of the variable x is 7.
Let number of 3 year old kid is x, number of 2 year old is x/2 and 4 year old is x.
The equation is
x + x + x/2 = 45
2x + 2x+ x /2 = 45
5x = 45 x 2
x = 90 / 5
x = 18
The two-year-old attend the preschool = 18 / 2 = 9
The three-year-old attend the preschool = 18
The four-year-old attend the preschool = 18
Thus, **9 students **are two-year-old, **18 **students are three-year-old and **18 **students are four-year-old.
