Question

A wise man once said, “200 reduced by 3 times my age is 29.” What’s is his age?

Answer 1

57

Explanation:

x=age

200-3x=29

x=57

Answer 2

The man's age is 57 years old.

To find this answer follow the steps below:

1. Subtract 29 from 200 to get 171.

2. Divide 171 by 3 to get 57.

To check this, use the equation 200 - (57 x 3) = 29.

1. 57 x 3 = 171. 200 - 171 = 29

2. 200 - 171 = 29. 29 = 29.

Thus meaning the man is 57 years old. I hope this helps!
