You can put this solution on YOUR website! Jay is 1yr older than Steve. Steve is 2yrs older than Dee. The sum of their ages is 101. Use an equation to find their ages.
---
Let Dee's age be "x".
Then Steve age is "x+2"
And Jay's age is "x+3"
-----------------------------
Equation:
x + x+2 + x+3 = 101
3x = 96
---
x = 32 (Dee's age)
x+2 = 34 (Steve's age)
x+3 = 35 (Jay's age)
