The ages are consecutive even numbers.
The youngest child is (x+3) years old.
Every even number is 2 more than the one before it.
So the three ages are
(x + 3), (x + 5), and (x + 7).
Their sum is x+3 + x+5 + x+7 = 3x + 15
But we're told that their sum is 42, so we can write
3x + 15 = 42 <== the equation
Subtract 15 from each side: 3x = 27
Divide each side by 3 : x = 9 <== the solution
So the three ages are 12, 14, and 16.
The oldest child is 16 years old.

Answer:
$2,975
Step-by-step explanation:
Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100
Discount = 3500 × 15/100
Discount = 3500 x 0.15
You save = $525.00
Final Price = Original Price - Discount
Final Price = 3500 - 525
Final Price = $2,975.00
You first need to make sure the denominators are equal, then when they are, you can add/subtract the numerators. Then you can place the result over the common denominator.
I hope this helps! :)
