Write an equation and solve each problem. the ages of three brothers are consecutive integers with the sum of 96. how old are the brothers?

Hi,

Let  the

Youngest brothers age = x+2

Middle brothers age = x+4

Oldest brothers age = x+6  

So,

Youngest brothers age = x+2 = 28+2 = 30 years of age

Middle brothers age = x+4 = 28+4 = 32 years of age

Oldest brothers age = x+6 = 28+6 = 34 years of age

Have a great day!

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b

#12 the answer is the third option
