The sum of ages of three brothers is 79. If James I’d half as old as Brandon and Marshall is 11 years younger then Brandon how old is the youngest brother?

The youngest brother is James and his age is 18 Years.

Step wise explaination:

Lets suppose,

age of James = x

age of Brandon = 2x

age of Marshall = 2x - 11

The sum of ages of three brothers = 79

now,

finding the value of x,

x + 2x + 2x - 11 = 79

or, 5x - 11 = 79

or, 5x = 79 + 11

or, 5x = 90

or, x = 90

5

so, x = 18.

Then,

age of James = 18.

age of Brandon = 2×18 = 36.

age of Marshall = (2×18) - 11 = 25.

Therefore,

The youngest brother is James and his age is 18 Years.

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5

step-by-step explanation:

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
