Answer:

Your age(a) is 15 in this case.

If your brother is 1/3 of your age, that means multiply your brother's age by 3

Your sister is 9, and is 4 years older than your brother. In that case, we now know that your brother is 5

With that information, we can put this into a valid equation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

turn 1/3 into a flipped fraction, 3/1 which is equal to 3

your brother's age is 5, so the first value would be 5

5 times 3 is 15, so that means a is 15

[tex]5 * 3/1 = 15[/tex]
