Answer 2

Answer:

Bryson is 14 years old.

Solution:

Let us assume that the age of Bryson is x .

Bryson's dad is 38 years old  and he is four years less than three times brysons age . Three time of Bryson’s age is 3x . So, the equation will be $3x-4 =38$

On grouping the terms to find x we get,

Then $x=\frac{38+4}{3}=\frac{42}{3}=14$

So, Bryson age is 14 years .
