Question

what age is royal thats my god dam question

Answer 1

In this case, you don't need to know Royal's age.  You simply need a way to represent it, using a variable.

Let's let the variable r = Royal's age and m = Malaysia's age.

 

Malaysia's aga is 4 years less than 2 times Royal's age.  "2 times" means multiply by 2 and "4 less than" means subtract 4. So starting as Royal's age (r) we'd multiply by 2 (2r) then subtract 4 (2r - 4).

 

Therefore, m = 2r - 4
