👧 Age of Youngest Child Calculation 👦

Let’s assume the age of the youngest child is x.

Since the children are born at intervals of 3 years, their ages will be:

Youngest child: x

Second youngest: x + 3

Middle child: x + 6

Second oldest: x + 9

Oldest child: x + 12

The sum of their ages is 50 years:

x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50

Combine like terms:

5x + 30 = 50

Subtract 30 from both sides:

5x = 20

Divide by 5:

x = 4

The age of the youngest child is 4 years. 👧
