A wise man once said, 400 reduced by 4 times my age is 140. What is his age?

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, lets translate this statement into a mathematical equation such that

4x - 400 = 140...............Add 400 to both sides such that

4x = 540...............Then divide 4 such that

x = 135 years old

I hope this helped!
