Question 1137311
.


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The @josmiceli' solution is <U>wrong</U>.


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I came to fix it and to provide a correct solution.



<pre>
Jim   + June + Alex  = 82


(x+9)   x    + (x-8) = 82


3x +1 = 82


3x = 82 - 1 = 81


x = 81/3 = 27.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  June is 27 years old;  Jim is 27+9 = 36 years old;  Alex is 27-8 = 19 years old.


<U>CHECK</U>.   27 + 36 + 19 = 82.    ! Correct !
</pre>

Solved.
