Question

Michael is 4 times as old as Brandon and is also 27 years older than Brandon. How old is Brandon?

Answer 1

Let the age of Brandon be x

SO, age of Michael= 4*Michael's age, that is=4*x=4x

or, 27+Michael's age=x+27

Therefore, 4x=27+x(both 4x and 27+x is michael's age so they are equal)

⇒ 4x=27+x

⇒4x-x=27

⇒3x=27

⇒x=27/3

⇒x=9

Therefore, Brandon's age = 9

And Michael's age =4*x⇒4*9=45
