Answer 2

Hello!

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf 76}`

Explanation:

→ Let my age be x.

→ We have this equation:

`\sf 300 - 3x = 72`

→ Let's solve x in this equation to find my age:

◼ Subtract 300 from both sides:

`\sf 300 - 3x -300= 72-300`

◼ Simplify both sides:

`\sf - 3x = -228`

◼ Divide both sides by -3:

`\sf (-3x)/(-3) = (-228)/(-3)`

◼ Simplify both sides:

`\boxed{\sf x = 76}`

Conclusion:

If 300 reduced by 3 times my age is equal to 72, my age is 76.
