Your question as typed yields a fractional answer, which is not possible in terms of age. I think you meant to say that Lee's younger sister is three years younger than him not the older sister.

Let x = Lee

Let 2x + 1 = older sister

Let x - 3 = younger sister

The sum of their ages is

x + (2x + 1) + (x - 3) = 26

Solve for x to find Lee's age.
