500 reduced by 4 times my age is 232. What is my age?

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!

The age of the person is 67 years ; 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
500 − 4 x = 232
Clearing x we have:
4 x = 500 − 232
[ x = \frac{268}{4}
x = 67 ]

Your age is determined to be 67 years based on the equation derived from the problem statement. By setting up the equation and solving for the variable, we isolated your age. The final calculation shows that 500 reduced by four times your age equals 232 when your age is 67.
