"Anton, Brad, and Cameron" sounds to me like three brothers, not two....
Their ages form an arithmetic sequence of three numbers, with a difference of 1 between them.
In any such arithmetic sequence, the middle number is the average of the three numbers.
On their next birthday, the sum of their ages will be 99, which means the age of the middle brother will be 99/3=33; the ages of the other two will then be 32 and 34.
ANSWER: 32, 33, and 34.
