Find out the age of eldest sister.? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Assume there is one sister plus one set of twins and one set of triplets \n" ); document.write( "g = girl's age, who is the oldest \n" ); document.write( "(g-2) = the triplets age \n" ); document.write( "(g-3) = the twin's age \n" ); document.write( "the difference between the oldest and the youngest will be 3 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "g + 3(g-2) + 2(g-3) = 90 \n" ); document.write( "g + 3g - 6 + 2g - 6 = 90 \n" ); document.write( "6g - 12 = 90 \n" ); document.write( "6g = 90 + 12 \n" ); document.write( "g = 102/6 \n" ); document.write( "g = 17 yrs is the age of the oldest \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "See if that works, the triplets will 15, the twins will be 14 \n" ); document.write( "17 + 3(15) + 2(14) = \n" ); document.write( "17 + 45 + 28 = 90 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "I have to admit I had to try several combinations of twins and triplets to get an integer solution to this \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
