Answer:

9 years old is Brandon

Explanation:

Let M represents the Michael and B represents the Brandon.

As per the given statement: Michael is 4 times as old as Brandon.


M = 4B .....[1]

Also, it is given that Michael is 27 years older than Brandon.


M = B +27 .....[2]

Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;


4B = B + 27

Subtract B from both sides we get;

3B = 27

Divide both sides by 3 we get;

B = 9 years

Therefore, the Brandon is 9 years old.
