Question

A wise man once said, "500 reduced by 4 times my age is 188." What is his age?

Answer 1

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

He Is 78 Years Old.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = age

Solve for a in 500 - 4a = 188.

Simplify 500−4a=188.

500−4a=188

500+−4a=188

−4a+500=188

Subtract 500 from both sides.

−4a+500−500=188−500

-4a = -312

Divide both sides by -4.

$\frac{-4a}{-4} =\frac{-312}{-4}$

a = 78

Answer:

He Is 78 Years Old.
