Question

Hunter, Trace, and Jacob were adding up their ages. The total was 49, If Hunter is 3 years older than Trace, and Jacob is twice Hunter's age. What are the ages of the three boys?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's say Trace's age is "x".

Then, Hunter's age would be (x+3)

And Jacob's will be 2*(x+3)

The Total of three ages would be

x+(x+3)+2*(x+3)=49

4x+9=49

4x=40

x=10

So Trace is 10 years old

Hunter is 13 years old

Jacob is 26 years old.
