Wayne's the youngest brother — let's call his age
n. Thus, the age of the other two brothers can be expressed as
(n+1) and
(n+2). Using this and the fact that the sum of their ages is
96 we get an equation.
n+(n+1)+(n+2)=96
Let's solve for
n.
n+(n+1)+(n+2)=96
n+n+1+n+2=96
3n+3=96
3n=93
n=31
Therefore, Wayne is
31 years old, Gordie is
32, and Mario is
33.
