To find your age, we can set up the equation based on the information given:
Let your age be \( x \).
According to the problem, we have:
\[
600 - 3x = 542
\]
Now, we need to solve for \( x \):
1. Subtract 600 from both sides:
\[
-3x = 542 - 600
\]
\[
-3x = -58
\]
2. Divide both sides by -3:
\[
x = \frac{-58}{-3}
\]
\[
x = \frac{58}{3} \approx 19.33
\]
Therefore, you are approximately 19 years and 4 months old.
