Question 1096899: Combined Steve, Matthew and Anthony's age sum to seventy-one. In three years, Anthony will be twice as old as Matthew. When Matthew is half Anthony's age, Steve will be five. I tried to work it out and put Steve at age two rather than five because of the three years. Which would make Matthew thirty-three and Anthony sixty-six which doesn't add to seventy-one. Any help or explanation is very appreciated! Thanks!
