    Aaron=12 Ben=24 Caleb=29

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Aaron=x

    Ben=2x

    Caleb=2x+5

    x+2x+2x+5=65

    5x+5=65

    -5 on both sides

    5x=60

    divide by 5 on both sides

    x=12

    You then substitute this answer with ben and Caleb

    ben = 2x (2*12) = 24

    caleb = 2x+5 (24+5) = 29
