30 students.....14 are boys...that means (30 - 14) = 16 are girls
if 2 boys are dropped......14 - 2 = 12 boys

Let's say X is the first brother's age
x+2 is second brother, and x+4 is the third brother
Since the product of the first and third boy x(x+4) is 20 more than twice (20+x(x+2), our equation is x(x+4)=20+2(x+2)
Simplify from there and see what you get.
