    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let Alex's age = x

    Mark's age = y

    Luke's age = a

    x + y + z = 12

    The possible combinations for their age are

    1. 6, 3, 3

    2. 3, 3, 6

    3. 4,4, 4

    4, 2, 2, 8

    5. 8, 2, 2

    6. 2, 8, 2

    7. 9, 2, 1

    Etc the age can keep going as long as you can find any three numbers and add them to give you 12
