~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Let x = your age.

The syster age is  {{{x/2}}}  years;  the brother's age is (x+2).


An equation for the total age is


    x + {{{x/2}}} + (x+2) = 32,

or

    2x + x + 2(x+2) = 64

    5x + 4 = 64

    5x     = 64 - 4 = 60.

     x              = 60/5 = 12 years.    <U>ANSWER</U>
