Agata [3.3K]

Let's say X is the first brother's age
x+2 is second brother, and x+4 is the third brother
Since the product of the first and third boy x(x+4) is 20 more than twice (20+x(x+2), our equation is x(x+4)=20+2(x+2)
Simplify from there and see what you get.

torisob [31]

Answer:

x= 9

y=-12.5

3x+2y = 2×2

2x+2y =-7×3

6x+4y =4

-2y =25

y=-12,5

2x+2(-12,5)= -7

2x+-25= -7

2x= -7+25
