Question

Logan is 8 years older than 4 times the age of his nephew. Logan is 32 years old. How old is his nephew?

Answer 1

the nephew is 6.

Explanation:

4n+8=32

n=6

Answer 2

6 years old

Explanation:

We can create an equation for Logan's age using the given information. Let's set the age of Logan's nephew to be x. The expression for Logan's age will look like:

• Logan = 4x + 8

This expression tells us that Logan is 4 times the age of his nephew, plus 8 years.

Now, we are given Logan's actual age: 32. We can substitute this value into "Logan" in our equation for Logan's age.

• 32 = 4x + 8

To finalize this problem we will solve for "x" to find the age of Logan's nephew.

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

• 24 = 4x

Divide both sides of the equation by 4.

• 6 = x
• x = 6

Therefore, we know that Logan's nephew is 6 years old.
