Answer: The required age of Solomon is 18 years.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Solomon is 9 years younger than his brother and his brother is 21.

We are to find the age of Solomon.

Let x years be the age of Solomon.

Then, according to the given information, we have


x=21-9\\\\\Rightarrow x=18.

Thus, the required age of Solomon is 18 years.
