Answer: the man is 58!

Step-by-step explanation: please mark brainliest

we could use this equation

168=400-4a         an a= uknown age

-400     -400

-232=-4a

divide by -4 on both sides to get the variable by itself

58=a

a=58

and to double check we can do this

168=400-4(58)     by susbtuting the variable

168=400-232

168=168     correct
