- let the oldest one = 5x
- Let the youngest one = 3x
- Let the middle one = 4x
Equation
Solution
- 3x + 18 = 5x Subtract 3x from both sides
- 3x - 3x + 18 = 5x - 3x Combine
- 18 = 2x Divide by 2
- 18/2 = 2x/2 Divide
- x = 9
Answer
- 3x = 3*9 = 27
- 5x = 5*9 = 45
- 4x = 4*9 = 36
- The sum is 108

Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation
48 + k+l =180
48 +90+l =180
138 +l = 180
l=180 - 138
l = 42
now
l+m+n= 180
42 +m+66 =180
108+m= 180
m= 180 -108 m =72
