Answer:

The ages of all three brothers are 4,6,8 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here n is the smallest of the three consecutive even integers, the condition gives you this equation

2n + 3*(n+2) + (n+4) = 34.

2n + 3n + 6 + n + 4 = 34

6n = 24

n = 4.

Answer. The ages are 4, 6 and 8 years.

Hope this helps you.
