Answer:

3x+6=27

Step-by-step explanation:

So first set brandons age as x.\

You know that the man's age is 3 times more and 6 years greater than brandons, leaving you with 3x+6.

Since you know the man is 27, set the equation equal to 27,

3x+6=27

If you want to solve for brandons age, subtract 6 from both sides,

3x=21

Divide:

x=7

Brandon's age is 7 years old
