Answer 2

Bryson is 14 years old.

Solution:

Let us assume that the age of Bryson is x .

Bryson's dad is 38 years old and he is four years less than three times brysons age . Three time of Bryson’s age is 3x . So, the equation will be
`3x-4 =38`

On grouping the terms to find x we get,

Then
`x=(38+4)/(3)=(42)/(3)=14`

So, Bryson age is 14 years .
