Darren and his two siblings' ages are three consecutive odd numbers. If the sum of their ages is 51, what are the three ages? Enter the numbers in increasing order. age 1:

age 2:

age 3:

age 1: 15

age 2:17

age 3:19

Step-by-step explanation:

15+17+19=51

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Darren age be x

and since they are odd consecutive numbers,

his two siblings age will be

1st sibling is x+2

2rd sibling is x+2+2 = x+4

If the sum of their ages is 51

that is,  x+x+2+x+4= 51

              3x+6 = 51

              3x+6-6=51-6

               3x = 45

               3x/3 = 45/3

                 x = 15 yrs

 Since x is 15, therefore Darren age is 15

and 1st sibling is x+2

                       = 15+2

                       = 17 yrrs

and 2rd sibling is x+4

                           = 15+4

                           = 19 yrs

thus, the first answer choice, y = sec x, is the correct one
