Question # 4

Answer 1

Answer:

Brett  is 62 years old, Carl is 70 years old and Mark is 80 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Brett be x years.

thus the age of Mark is (x+18) years .

{as it is given that Brett is 18 years younger than Mark}

∴ Age of Carl is (x+8) years .

Now the sum of ages,

3x+26=212 (given)

3x=186

∴x=62

thus , the age of Brett is 62 years , the age of mark is (x+18)= 80 years and the age of Carl is (x+8)= 70 years
