the ages of three sisters are consecutive integers. the sum of their ages is 45 calculate their ages
The answer must be 14, 15, 16. because they are all at least 1 # apart
If you add 14 15 & 16 you will get a total of 54, therefore these three numbers are you answer
consecituve ineters are 1 aprt so the ages are
x,x+1,x+2
their sum is 45
x+x+1+x+2=45
add like terms
3x+3=45
subtract 3
3x=42
divide 3
x=14
x+1=15
x+2=16
ages are 14,15,16
