Answer:

The oldest brother is 20 years old.  PLEASE GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Youngest = 5x - (x+4) = 60                           Oldest = 5x - 60

                   5x - 1(x+4) = 60                                5(16) - 60 =

                   5x - x - 4 = 60                                  80 - 60 = 20

                   4x - 4 = 60

                    4x = 60 + 4

                  4x = 64    

                    x = 64 ÷ 4    x = 16

Youngest = 16

Middle = 18

Oldest = 20
