Question

The ages of three brothers are consecutive integers with the sum of 96. How old are the brothers?

Answer 1

So, we can find this using an equation.

Let's call X the age of the youngest brother.

Let call x+1 the age of the middle brother

and x+2 the age of the oldest brother.

So, now we can make an equation.

x+x+1+x+2 = 96

3x = 93

x = 31

So, the ages of the brothers are 31, 32, and 33.
