Question

14. The sum of the ages of the three Johnson sisters is 57. If their ages

can be represented as consecutive odd integers, what is the age of the
oldest sister?

Answer 1

Answer:17

Explanation:

Sister 1= x

Sister 2= x+2

Sister 3= x+4

We know that the sum of all the sisters' ages is 57:

x+x+2+x+4= 57

3x+6=57

3x=51

x=17

To find the oldest sister add 4:

17+4= 21
