Dolly  (12 years ago)

If A,B,C are ages and x is present year,then
AB= X-C
or
AB+C=X...........(1)
AC+B=X........(2)
BC+A=X.........(3)
subtracting (2) from (1)
A(B-C)-(B-C)=0
(A-1)*(B-C)=0

either A=1 , or B=C
A can not be 1.

So B =C= A

so ages of all 3 are equla.
and possible answer is A=B=C= 44 years.
X =1980
