Sagot :

Answer:

Michael's age is 20 while Jordan's age is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Michael age = six more than twice the age of his younger brother Jordan (J) = 2J + 6

M = 2J + 6 -> 1st equation

M + J = 27 -> 2nd equation

Substitute the 1st equation to the 2nd equation

M + J = 27

( 2J + 6 ) + J = 27

2J + J + 6 = 27

3J = 27 - 6

3J = 21

J = 21/3

J = 7

M = 2J + 6

M = 2( 7 ) + 6 = 14 + 6 = 20

Michael's age is 20 while Jordan's age is 7.
