Question 1 Report

I am x years old and my brother is 3 years older. How old was my brother last year?
Answer Details
If you are currently x years old, and your brother is 3 years older than you, then your brother's current age is x + 3. To find out how old your brother was last year, you need to subtract 1 from his current age: (x + 3) - 1 = x + 2 Therefore, your brother was x + 2 years old last year. So, the correct option is (b) (x + 2) years.
