Question

If Susie's age is 8 less than 3 times her brother's age, and Susie is 13. How old is her brother?

Answer 1

7 years old

Explanation:

You would start by going backward. If 13 is 8 less, then you would first add 8. You would have 21. Now all you have to do is divide by three. So your answer would be 7. If you would want to check you could plug it back in. 7 multiplied by 3 is 21. 21 - 8=13

The Answer, 7 years old
