Let's say that Batman's age is b, and Robin's age is r.
We can set up a system of equations as such with the given information:
[tex]b=4r\\b+r=45[/tex]
Using substitution, we plug-in 4r from the first equation into b in the second equation to get [tex]5r=45 \\ r=9[/tex].
Now, we plug in the value of r into the first equation to get [tex]b=4(9)=36[/tex].
Thus, Batman is 36 years old, and Robin is 9 years old... A little weird?
