Question 627347
Currently they add up to 10+50+26 = 86


If you add x years to each age, then you get 10+x, 50+x, and 26+x


Add up the ages and force that result to be 150. Then solve for x. 


(10+x)+(50+x)+(26+x) = 150


10+x+50+x+26+x = 150


3x+86 = 150


3x = 150-86


3x = 64


x = 64/3


x = 21.333


So there isn't a whole number of years that can pass by where your three ages add to 150.
