Answer:

You are 84

Step-by-step explanation:

a = age

400 - 2a = 232

subtract 400 from each side

400 -2a -400 = 232-400

-2a = -168

divide by -2

-2a/-2 = -168/-2

a =84

Hi!

We will solve this like this:

400 - 2*a = 232 where a is your age

400 - 232 = 2*a

2*a = 168

a = 168/2

a = 84

You are 84 years old.

Hope this helps!
