Key Ideas

  • Adding algebraic expressions

Solving the Question

We're given:

  • m is the smallest age.

This means that the consecutive odd integers will be m + 2 and m + 4.

If we add all their ages, it will look like this:

[tex]m+(m+2)+(m+4)\\= m+m+2+m+4\\= 3m+2+4\\= 3m+6[/tex]

Answer

[tex]3m+6[/tex]
