Fan and Medal!!

The ages of three brothers are consecutive integers with the sum of 96.
a)Write an expression to determinate the ages of the brothers.
b)How old are the three brothers?

Answer 1

i'll help just give me some time to type

Answer 2

bro #1= x
bro #2= x+1
bro#3= x+2
u want all 3 to add up to 96 so
x+x+1+x+2=96
combine like terms
3x+3=96
subtract 3 from both sides
3x=96
divide both sides by 3
31 is the answer
therefore the next brothers ages will be 32 and 33
to check, add 31+32+33
does this make sense?

Answer 3

31+32+33= 97 so your answer would be 31, 32, and 33

Answer 4

yes it would be 96 so those are u answers!
