You'd multiply 8 by 4 to get 32, and then add 2 to get 34, which is the mans age. I hope this helps!

Answer:  The man is 34 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a man's age is two years more than four times his son's age and his son is 8 years old now.

We are to find the age of the man.

Let x and y represents the age of the man and his son respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x=4\times y+2\\\\\Rightarrow x=4y+2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

and

y=8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Substituting the value of y from equation (ii) in equation (i),we get

x\\\\=4y+2\\\\=4\times8+2\\\\=32+2\\\\=34.

Thus, the man is 34 years old.
