You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = age of youngest
then
x+1 = middle
x+2 = oldest
.
x + x+1 + x+2 = 108
3x + 3 = 108
3x = 105
x = 35
.
solution: 35, 36, and 37 years old
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 108/3 = 36, the middle integer
--> 35, 36 & 37
----------------
If you need to do it the "hard way",
n = middle integer
(n-1) + n + (n+1) = 108
3n = 108
n = 36, etc
