Answer:
Michael's age is 20 while Jordan's age is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Michael age = six more than twice the age of his younger brother Jordan (J) = 2J + 6
M = 2J + 6 -> 1st equation
M + J = 27 -> 2nd equation
Substitute the 1st equation to the 2nd equation
M + J = 27
( 2J + 6 ) + J = 27
2J + J + 6 = 27
3J = 27 - 6
3J = 21
J = 21/3
J = 7
M = 2J + 6
M = 2( 7 ) + 6 = 14 + 6 = 20
Michael's age is 20 while Jordan's age is 7.
