Question

A man said, "Three hundred minus three times my age leaves six." How old is the man?

Answer 1

Answer:

the man is 98 years old.... please give me brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

$300 - 3 \times x = 6 \\ 300 - 3x =6 \\ - 3x = 6 - 300 \\ - 3x = - 294 \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 3 \\ - 3x \div 3 = 294 \div 3 \\ x = 98$

Answer 2

Answer:

let that man's age be x :

$300 - 3x = 6$

subtract 300 from both sides:

$(300 - 3x) - 300 = 6 - 300 \\ - 3x = - 294$

apply the division rule of equality:

$\frac{ - 3x}{ - 3} = \frac{ - 294}{ - 3} \\ \\ x = 98$

The man is 98 years
