<PRE><B>Question 350766</B>
 THE AGES OF THREE BROTHERS ARE CONSECUTIVE *EVEN* INTEGERS. THE SUM OF THEIR AGES IS 54. HOW OLD IS EACH OF THE BROTHERS?
----------------------
1st: 2x-2
2nd: 2x
3rd: 2x+2
----
Equation:
sum = 54
6x = 54
---
x = 9
-----
1st: 2x-2 = 16
2nd: 2x = 18
3rd: 2x+2 = 20
