    Let x = Edna's age

    then it follows that (x + 1) is Ellie's age and (x + 2) is Elsa's age

    We can now write and equation for the sum of their ages equal to 108:

    x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 108 simplify the left side

    3x + 3 = 108 subtract 3 from both sides

    3x = 105 divide both sides by 3

    x = 35

    Edna is 35, Ellie is 36, and Elsa is 37
