    The ages of the children are:

    R, R-2 and R-4.

    Together they are R + R-2 + R-4 = 36. This is an equation we can solve.

    3R - 6 = 36 = > 3R = 42 = > R = 14

    So the ages are 10, 12 and 14

    R-2 is age of the second child

    R-4 is age of third child

    R-2+R-4+R=36

    3R = 36+6=42

    R=14
