Answer: 26 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
- Create an equation with Austin as x and Jamie as x+69 (I just like workin with addition signs more)= 4(x-3)= x+69-3
- Simplify the equations --> 4x-12=x+66
- Solve the equation: 3x-12=66 --> 3x=78 --> x=26
This is the same as other age problems, just with the extra step of distributing the multiplication.
