Answer:
Brandon is 9 years old and Michael is 36 years old. (Pls give Brainliest)
Explanation:
Consider Brandon's age to be x.
Michael's age will then be 4x as well as x+27 (since he is not only 4 times as old as Brandon but also 27 years older than him).
Well, if Michael is not an extraterrestrial being that defies physics, then he cannot have 2 ages simultaneously which leads us to believe that 4x has to be equal to x+27.
Set up the equation:
4x = x+27 (Subtract x from both sides)
3x = 27 (Divide both sides by 3)
x = 9
Brandon is 9 years old and Michael is 36 years old.
