Please answer correctly

33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call their ages m and b.

We have:

m = b + 12

m - 17 = 4(b - 17) → m = 4b - 51

b + 12 = 4b - 51

3b = 63

b = 21

m = 21 + 12 = 33

33.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Michael's age is x years now then Brandon's age is  x - 12.

17 years ago  Michael was x - 17 years old and this was 4 times  Brandon's age so:

x - 17 = 4(x - 12 - 17)

x - 17 = 4x - 48 - 68

4x - x =  -17 + 48 + 68

3x = 99

x = 33.

So Michael is now 33 years old.

not only in mathematics, scientific proof also are required in the other field of science. also maths proofs are of particular structure, containing steps and logics. so proving is like doing science, it is science. that's why it is important to prove. 

an inaccurate proof leads to errors, or stating results that are not accurate.  which wil mess the probelm up you dont want this
