Sagot :
Well 500 reduced by 4 times my age is 232...
The first step to discover the age (I'll assume that's your question) is subtract 232 from 500 500-232 equals 268. Divide this by 4 to get 67. Boy, that's a pretty old age. Hope this helps!

For this case, what we want to do is determine the age of the person.
For this, we define the following variable:
x: age of the person.
We write now the equation that models the problem
[tex] 500 - 4x = 232
[/tex]
Clearing x we have:
[tex]4x = 500-232[/tex]
[tex] x = \frac{268}{4}
x = 67 [/tex]
Answer:
The age of the person is 67 years
