Question

A wise man once said, “500 reduced by 4 times my age is 256.” What is his age

Answer 1

Answer:

His age = 61 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider  my age is x

500 - 4 x = 256

500 - 256 = 4 x

i.e 4 x = 500 - 256

    4 x = 244

∴  x = $\frac{244}{4}$

    x = 61

His age = 61 years
