Let the age of Justin be x years .

And Pyton is three years younger than Justin, therefore Peyton age is

[tex](x-3)years[/tex]

And Matt is four times as old as Peyton, therefore Matt age is

[tex]4(x-3) years[/tex]

And it is given that

[tex]x+x-3+4(x-3)=39[/tex]

[tex]x+x-3+4x-12=39 \\ 6x-15=39  \\ 6x=54 \\ x =9 years[/tex]

Therefore , Justin is 9 years old, Peyton is 6 years old and Matt is 24 years old .
