three siblings are 3 different ages the oldest is twice the age of the middle sibling and the middle is 8 years older than one half the age of the youngest.
if the youngest sibling is 4 how old are the other 2 siblings
***
let x=age of youngest
(x/2)+8=age of middle sibling
2((x/2)+8)=age of middle sibling
..
if the youngest sibling is 4:
(x/2)+8=10=age of middle sibling
2*10=20=age of oldest sibling
