Question 1154976: The product of the ages of a set of triplets is 12 times the sum of their ages. Determine how old the triplets are.
I have a solution up to one of the last parts.
x^3 = 12
x^3 = 12(3x)
x^3 = 36x
I know that I have to divide now, and that 36 divided by x is 36, but I don't know how I need to solve for the other side and solve the rest of the problem. Can I have help solving the problem from here?
