Question

Ages of sylvans daughters are consecutive even integers. The sum of their ages is 60. Write an equation representing and find age of each daughter.

Answer 1

Consecutive even integers are 2 apart
they are
x,x+2,x+4
total sum is 60
x+x+2+x+4=60
3x+6=60
minus 6 both sides
3x=54
divide both sides by 3
x=18
x+2=20
x+4=22

the ages are
18,20,22
