The ages of Jamal, Wesley, an John are consecutive integers. the sum of thier ages is 108. what are thier ages.

how do you express the above problem using linear equation.

How old is jamal?

How old is Wesley?

How old is John?

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three people

jamal = x (since im guessing hes the youngest)

wesley = x+1

John = x+2

the formula you would use is x+x+1+x+2=108

when you simplify that you get 3X+3=108

you subtract the 3 from 108 which leaves you with 3X=105

divide that by 3 which makes x=35

so

jamal is 35

wesley is 36

john is 37
