Question

Michael is 44 times as old as Brandon and is also 2727 years older than Brandon.

Answer 1

B - Brandon's age

4B - Michael's age

B + 27 - Michael's age

The equation:

4B = B + 27 subtract B from both sides

3B = 27 divide both sides by 3

B = 9

4B = 4(9) = 36

Answer: Michael - 36, Brandon - 9.
