Answer:

Brandson is 9 years old and Micheal is 36 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Brandson be x years

then the age of Micheal be y years

According to the given condition

y=4x----------1

y= x+27-------2

From 1:                    x= y/4 --------3

Putting 3 in 2

y = y/4 +27

y= y+  108/4

4y= y +108

4y - y= 108

3y= 108

y = 108/3

y= 36-----------4

Putting 4 in 1

36= 4x

x= 36/4= 9---------5
