Question 474770
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)
