A wise old man once said,"500 reduced by four times my age is 232." What is his age?

Plug in the numbers into an equation:

500 - 4x = 232

After calculating, his age is 67

What kind of bs man would ask this?
Hope this helps lol...

so this means that 500 - 232 = four times his age

500 - 232 = 268

268/4 is 67

his age is 67
