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
So, this is pretty simple actually.
3^c2 * 8^c6 * 1 = 84
It's an easy problems. what equations are you trying to find?
Answer: C. -25 is the least one, B. 25 is the first one, A. 1/25 is the second, and D. -1/25 is the third. So in a simpler way Least to Greatest is -25, -1/25, 1/25, 25. I hope this helped!
