Let the age of the first elephant be a
Let the age of the second elephant be b
Let the age of the tortoise be x.
From the given information, we have
x = a + b + 52
x+10 = 2(a+10+b+10)
Simplifying both, we have x=a+b+52 and x+10 = 2(a+b)+40, x = 2(a+b) + 30.
Subtracting the two, we have a+b-22 = 0, so a+b = 22.
This means that x = a+b +52, or 22+52, or 74 years old.
