Answer:

Mehmut is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we can get the following information, let M be Mehmut's age and b brother's age:

M = 4 * b

M + 1 = 3 * (b + 1)

We replace the first equation in the second and we are left with:

4 * b + 1 = 3 * b + 3

4 * b - 3 * b = 3 - 1

b = 2

Now, we replace to calculate M:

M = 4 * b

M = 4 * 2

M = 8

Mehmut is 8 years old.
