The ages of three friends are consecutively one year apart. together their ages total 48 years. which equation can be used to find the age of each friend (where a represents the age of the youngest friend)? a. 3a=48 b. a(a+1)(a+2)=48 c. a+(a-1)+(a-2)=48 d. a+(a+1)+(a+2)=48

An equation which can be used to find the age of each friend is: D. a + (a+1) + (a+2) =48

Given the following data:

To write an equation which can be used to find the age of each friend:

Since the ages of the three friends are consecutively one year apart, it simply means that the difference between their ages is one (1) respectively and in an ascending order:

For the younger friend (second):

For the young friend (third):

Evaluating as an equation, we have:
