Question

Write an equation and solve each problem. The ages of three brothers are consecutive integers with the sum of 96. How old are the brothers?

Answer 1

Hi,

Let  the

Youngest brothers age = x+2

Middle brothers age = x+4

Oldest brothers age = x+6  

So,

Youngest brothers age = x+2 = 28+2 = 30 years of age

Middle brothers age = x+4 = 28+4 = 32 years of age

Oldest brothers age = x+6 = 28+6 = 34 years of age

Have a great day!
