Answer:

I think Brady is 12 and his brother is 8.

a: (20-4)/2=8 for his brother and next you do 20-8=12 for Brady's age

b: Brady is 12 years old and his brother is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

b = brady
x = brother

b = 2x - 4
b + x = 20

We’ll take the expression b = 2x - 4 and drop it I to the second equation to solve for x

2x - 4 + x = 20
3x - 4 = 20
3x = 24
x = 8

So that means 20 - 8 = b, b = 12

Checking the math: 12 = 2(8) -4, 12 = 16-4, 12 = 12

Brady’s brother is 8 years old, and Brady is 12 years old.
