Algebra.Com's Answer #365277 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3332 = 2^2 * 7^2 * 17. Since we assume twins have the same age, they can either both be 7 or both be 2 or both be 14 (years old). However if we assume they are 7 or 2, the older brother would have an unreasonably high age so the twins should be 14 years old (and the older brother 17). 14*14*17 = 3332. \n" ); document.write( " |
