Skylar is the youngest of four siblings whose ages are consecutive integers. if the sum of their ages is 70, find skylars age​

Respuesta :

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Skylar is x year old

Hence, they ages is (x+1), (x+2), (x+3)

Thus,

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=70

x+x+1+x+2+x+3=70

4x+6=70

4x+6-6=70-6

4x=64

Divide both parts of the equation by 4:

x=16
