Question

The Sanford brothers are all separated by the same number of years. The sum of their ages is 36. Maurice is three times older than his youngest brother. Ray is twice as old as his youngest brother, Paul. How old is each brother?

Answer 1

Maurice = 18 , Ray = 12 , Youngest = 6

36 = 3x + 2 + x

36 = 6x

6x = 36

6x/6 = 36/6

x = 6
