Answer:

13, 14, 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = age of one of the siblings

Since the age of the siblings are consecutive integers, the age of the next sibling would be x + 1 and the age of the third sibling would be x + 2

x +( x +1) + (x +2) = 42

3x + 3 = 42

collect like terms and solve for x

x = 13

The age of the first sibling is 13

The age of the second sibling is x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

The age of the third sibling is x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15

telo118 [61]
We can conclude that both will intersect at a certain angle, depending on this algorithm I created.

28000 + 3000x = 36000 + 2000x

The f(x) intercept for g(x) is = 9 and -9

If you square this by light, the arithmetic of 9x+5x=21s(x)

Thus we can simply and get 11 years.
