Therefore, we can calculate his brother&#8217;s current age as follows:<br>[<br>\\text{Brother&#8217;s age} = 2 \\times \\text{Brian&#8217;s age} = 2 \\times 8 = 16 \\text{ years old}<br>]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Future Age Calculation<\/strong>: We need to find out how old Brian&#8217;s brother will be when Brian turns 11. The difference in their ages remains constant over time. Since Brian is currently 8 and will be 11 in 3 years, we can find his brother&#8217;s future age by adding the same amount of time (3 years) to his brother&#8217;s current age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calculating Brother&#8217;s Age in 3 Years<\/strong>:<br>[<br>\\text{Brother&#8217;s future age} = \\text{Brother&#8217;s current age} + 3 \\text{ years} = 16 + 3 = 19 \\text{ years old}<br>]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>So when Brian is 11, his brother will be 19 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer<\/strong>: A) 19<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This problem involves understanding age relationships and applying basic arithmetic. Initially, we noted that Brian&#8217;s brother is 16, which is derived from the information that he is twice Brian&#8217;s age. The problem asks for the brother&#8217;s age when Brian reaches 11, which means we need to consider the time that will pass until that age is reached. Since 3 years will pass, we simply add those years to the brother&#8217;s current age of 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s crucial to recognize that the age difference between the two will always be the same; therefore, regardless of how old Brian gets, his brother will always be 8 years older than him. This relationship simplifies the calculation because we can easily add 3 years to 16 to find that Brian&#8217;s brother will be 19 when Brian is 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian is 8 and his brother is twice his age.
