Problema Solution

elsa, ellie, and brad are consecutive integers.the sum of their ages is 117

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the age of the youngest, then 'x+1' and 'x+2' represent the next consecutive ages


117 = x + x+1 + x+2

117 = 3x + 3

3x = 114

x = 114/3 = 38


their ages are 38, 39 and 40
