Question

Dane is 10 times Brian's age. The difference in their age is 27, how old is Brian

Answer 1

Answer:

Brain is 3 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B represent Brain's age and D represent Dane's age.

We have been given that Dane is 10 times Brian's age. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D=10B...(1)$

We are also told that the difference in their age is 27. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$D-B=27...(2)$

Upon substituting equation (1) i equation (2), we will get:

$10B-B=27$

$9B=27$

$\frac{9B}{9}=\frac{27}{9}$

$B=3$

Therefore, Brain is 3 years old.

Answer 2

Brian is 3 years old.
