Question

In the Ambrose family, the ages of the three children are three consecutive even integers. If the age of the youngest child is represented by x + 3, which expression represents the age of the oldest child?

Answer 1

X+7

Explanation:

If the youngest child's age expression is X+3 then the middle child's would be x+5 and the oldest would X+7. Even numbers have a difference of 2 between them and that is why 2 is gradually added to each age expression. Hope that helps.
