Question

The age of Brad is four times the age of his son, Kevin. If the difference of their age is 27, find Kevin's age?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

• Age of Brad is 4 times of his son Kevin
• Difference between their age = 27

To Find :-

Kevin's age

Solution :-

Here, Let us assume age of Kevin be x and Brad is 4 times of his son, so his age would be 4x

⟹ 4x - x = 27

⟹ 3x = 27

⟹ x = 27/3

• x = 7

Hence :-

Kevin's age is 7 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

9;36

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Brad be b

age of Kelvin is k

Brad age is 4 times of Kelvin

b=4k

difference of Brad and Kelvin is 27 yrs

b-k=27

4k-k=27

3k=27

k=9

b=4k=4*9=36
