When Bree was thrice as old as Devin,
His sister Mate was twenty-seven.
When Devin was half as old as Mate,
Then brother Bree was thirty-eight.
Their ages add to one forty three.
How old are Devin, Mate and Bree?

Mate-27
Bree-33
Devin-11
Mate-32
Bree-38
Devin 16
16 is half of 32
combined as of now their ages equals-86
143-86=57
to distribute equally divide by 3-19
add nineteen to each age and get...
Mate-51
Devin 35
Bree-57
