I can only give possible combination of the ages. Had the sum of the ages been given, then the 3 specific numbers would have been derived.
We need to do prime factorization of 72.
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2= 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 1 = 1
1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72
Possible combinations:
1 x 8 x 9 = 72 1 + 8 + 9 = 18
1 x 4 x 18 = 72 1 + 4 + 18 = 23
2 x 4 x 9 = 72 2 + 4 + 9 = 15
3 x 4 x 6 = 72 3 + 4 + 6 = 13
No because adding the two fives will give you a 10 and 10 is greater than 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To add integers on the number line, you move forward, and you face right (the positive direction) when you add a positive number. As with positive numbers, to add negative integers on the number line, you move forward, but you face left (the negative direction) when you add a negative number.
