Question

Maria has three children. There is two years age difference between each child. The total ages of all three children is 36 years. Rosa is the oldest child. How old is Rosa?

Answer 1

14

Answer 2

Rosa is 14 then the second oldest would be 12 and the youngest would be 10 14+12+10=36

Answer 3

The first child's age can be represented by x

The second child is 2 years older, or x+2
Third chld, Rosa, is 2 years older than the 2nd child, x +4

So your equation is x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 36

Now, solve for x.

Rosa's age will be x+4.
