Answer 2

Brain is 3 years old.

Explanation:

Let B represent Brain's age and D represent Dane's age.

We have been given that Dane is 10 times Brian's age. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`D=10B...(1)`

We are also told that the difference in their age is 27. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`D-B=27...(2)`

Upon substituting equation (1) i equation (2), we will get:

`10B-B=27`

`9B=27`

`(9B)/(9)=(27)/(9)`

`B=3`

Therefore, Brain is 3 years old.
