    Let the man's age be x.

    400 - 3x = 163

    First, simplify both sides of the equation.

    400 + - 3x = 163

    -3x + 400 = 163

    Npw, subtract 400 from both sides.

    -3x + 400 - 400 = 163 - 400

    -3x = - 237

    Finally, divide both sides by - 3.

    -3x / - 3 = - 237 / - 3

    x = 79

    The man's age is 79 years old.

    If his age is a

    400 reduced by 3 times my age is 163 means

    400-3a=163

    -3a=-237

    divide both sides by - 3

    a=79

    his age was 79 at the time of the quote
