You can put this solution on YOUR website! Currently they add up to 10+50+26 = 86
If you add x years to each age, then you get 10+x, 50+x, and 26+x
Add up the ages and force that result to be 150. Then solve for x.
(10+x)+(50+x)+(26+x) = 150
10+x+50+x+26+x = 150
3x+86 = 150
3x = 150-86
3x = 64
x = 64/3
x = 21.333
So there isn't a whole number of years that can pass by where your three ages add to 150.

How can you be 3 ages?
They add to 86, not 150.
