Answer:

Since we know that each of the three triplets are the same age we can put next to n, 3.

And given that another child is 14 years old we can put that next to the "+" sign.

In total, it would equal 32, so put the 32 after the equal sign.

It should look like this:

3n + 14 = 32

But now they want us to solve for the triplet's ages, so we just solve for n;

3n + 14 = 32

-14 -14

3n = 18

/3 /3

n = 6, the triplet's ages are 6 years old each.
