(By the way I'm the same guest that was defending you from that one who called you a "dumb knight" on that other post. Hellooooo--)

Michael is 12 years older than Brandon. Seventeen years ago, Michael was 4 times as old as Brandon.
How old is Brandon now? can somebody help me through this step by step thank you D:

Brandon is now x years old. Michael is now  x + 12 years old.

Then:

\(M=x+12\)                            now

\((x-17)\cdot 4=M-17\)         17 years ago . 

\(4x-68=(x+12)-17\)     M=x+12

\(3x=68+12-17\)                - x + 68

3x=63                                         / 3

\(x=21\)

\(Brandon \ is \ now \ 21 \ years \ old. \ Michael \ is \ now \ 33 \ years \ old.\)

Michael is 12 years older than Brandon. Seventeen years ago,

Michael was 4 times as old as Brandon.

How old is Brandon now?

Let m = Michael
Let b = Brandon

\(\begin{array}{|lrcll|} \hline (1) & m &=& b+12 \\\\ (2) & m-17 &=& 4\cdot (b-17) \quad & | \quad m=b+12 \\ & b+12-17 &=& 4\cdot (b-17) \\ & b+5 &=& 4b- 68 \\ & 3b&=& 63 \\ & \mathbf{b} & \mathbf{=} & \mathbf{21} \\\\ (1) & m &=& b+12 \quad & | \quad b=21 \\ & m &=& 21+12 \\ & \mathbf{m} & \mathbf{=} & \mathbf{33} \\ \hline \end{array} \)

Michael is 33 and Brandon is 21

2 5/8

\(2+\frac{5}{8}=\frac{2\cdot 8+5}{8}=\frac{21}{8}\color{blue} = 2.625\)

Write a ratio that represents 0.33 with fractions,decimals and percents.

\(0.\overline{33}=\frac{1}{3}=33\%\)

What is 166 2/3 times 3.14?

\(166\frac{2}{3}\times 3.14=\frac{3\times 166+2}{3}\times 3.14=\frac{500\times3.14}{3}\color{blue}=523\frac{1}{3}\)
