Answer:

The man is 27 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can create a system of equations.
Let x = the age of the man
Let y = the age of his son
You can create the following equations based on what was given in the problem:
1. x = y + 18
2. (x - 3) = 4(y - 3)
You can simplify the second equation:
x - 3 = 4y - 12
x = 4y - 9
Then, solve the system of equations:
x = y + 18
-
x = 4y - 9
____________
0 = -3x + 27
The son's age is 9, therefore the father is 27 years old.
