Question

How old am I if 100 increased by 4 times my age is 132?

Answer 1

The answer is:

x = 8

Work/explanation:

I am going to set up an equation. Let your age be x.

Then,

100 increased by 4 times x = 100 + 4x

The equation is:

`\bf{100 + 4x = 132}`

Solving:

`\bf{4x = 132 - 100}`

`\bf{4x = 32}`

Divide by 4

`\bf{x = 8}`

Hence, the answer is x = 8

Answer 2

100+4x=132

4x=132-100

4x=32

`(4x)/(4) = (32)/(4)`

x=8

you are 8years
