Answer 1

36

Explanation:

Micheal is 4 times as old as Brandon.

y = 4x

Micheal is also 27 years older than Brandon.

y = x +27

Y represents Micheal's age, and x represents Brandon's age.

Since both equations above are equal to the same value, y, you can set the two equations equal to each other. Solve for x.

4x = x + 27

3x = 27

x = 9

Brandon is 9 years old.

Plug Brandon's age into one of the equation to solve for Micheal's age.

y = x + 27

y = 9 + 27

y = 36

Micheal is 36 years old.

Answer 2

36

Explanation:

Let Brandon's age be b. We can write 4b = b + 27 which gives us b = 9. Because Michael is 4 times as old as Brandon, he is 9 * 4 = 36 years old.
