    Jan is 19yrs old, Bill is 20yrs old and Sue is 18yrs old

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let Jan = x

    Bill = x + 1 (older than Jan)

    Sue = x - 1 (younger than

    Jan)

    3 children = 57

    x+x+1+x-1 = 57

    3x = 57

    x = 19

    Bill - > 19 + 1 = 20yrs

    Sue - > 19 - 1 = 18yrs
