Micheal is 4 times as old as brandon and is also 27 years older than brandon. how old is micheal

To solve the question,we can set two eqautions:

Let Micheal’s age be x.
Let Brandon’s age be y.

As Micheal is 4 times as old:

x/4 = y
x = 4y... (1)

As Micheal is 27 years older:

x - y = 27...(2)

Put (1) into (2), where x = 4y:

(4y) - y = 27
3y = 27
y = 9

Therefore, Brandon is 9 years old.

We can then find Micheal’s age:

9×4
=36

Therefore Micheal is 36 years old.

Hope it helps!

I believe Michael would be 36. hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

x = michael age

y = brandon age

---

x = 4y

x = y + 27

put the system of linear equations into standard form

x - 4y = 0

x - y = 27

solution:

x = michael age = 36

y = brandon age = 9
