<pre>Let Taz' age be T
Then his brother's is: T - 5
His cousin's is: T + 1
His uncle's is: 3(T + 1)
His uncle's is ALSO: 4(T - 5)
We then set his uncle's equations equal to each other, to get: 3(T + 1) = 4(T - 5)
3T + 3 = 4T - 20
3T - 4T = - 20 - 3
- T = - 23
Taz or {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,6, T, "=", (- 23)/(- 1), "=", 23, years-old))}}}</pre>
