Question 1122914
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


If P is 3 years younger than F, and F is 3 years younger than S, and we let *[tex \Large p] represent the age of P, then F's age is *[tex \Large p\ + \ 3] and S's age is *[tex \Large p\ +\ 6].  And we know that:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ p\ +\ (p\ +\ 3)\ +\ (p\ +\ 6)\ =\ 60]


Just solve for *[tex \Large p].  You should also calculate *[tex \Large p\ +\ 3] and *[tex \Large p\ +\ 6] then add all three ages to check your solution.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
