Answer:

7

Explanation:

The Wilsons have triplets and another child who is 15. Since their ages all add up to 36, we can first start off with subtracting 15 from 36.

36 - 15 = 21

Now we can divide the amount we have from the rest amount of kids, since they are triplets, they are 3:

21 / 3 =

7
