Let M mean Michael, and B mean Brandon, when write two equations:

M = 4B
B = M - 27

Replace the B in the first equation with what it is equal to in the second equation:
M = 4(M - 27)
Distribute
M = 4M - 108
Subtract 4M from both sides
-3M = -108
M = 36

Now put that back into the equation for B.
B = M - 27
B = 36 - 27
B = 9

So, Brandon is 9 and Michael is 36.

NeTakaya

Answer:

△NPK≅△HBG; and △KNP≅△GHB

Explanation:

Using the given congruence statement, we can determine corresponding pieces of the triangles:

P corresponds to B; K corresponds to G; and N corresponds to H.

This means that △NKP≅△HGB, not HBG.

△KPN≅△GBH, not BHG.

△NPK≅△HBG; this is correct.

△KNP≅△GHB; this is correct.
