Question

Michael is 333 times as old as brandon. 181818 years ago, michael was 999 times as old as brandon. How old is brandon now?.

Answer 1

Bradon is 24 years old and Micheal is 72 years old.

Michael is 3 times as old as brandon. 18 years ago, michael was 9 times as old as brandon

Let m represent Michael

Let b represent Brandon

Then,

m = 3b                    <-----------"Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon."

m - 18 = 9(b - 18)    <-----------"18 years ago, Michael was 9 times as old as Brandon."

3b - 18 = 9b - 162

-18 = 6b - 162

144 = 6b

b = 24     <-------This is Brandon's age.

3b = m

3(24) = 72 <------This is Michael's age.

Therefore, Michael is 3 times as old as Brandon. Also, 18 years ago, Brandon would have been 6 and Michael would have been 54

Now, Bradon is 24 years old and Micheal is 72 years old.
