Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write down what we know in numbers.

Less than can sometimes refer to the "<" symbol, but here it looks like it's being used as a negative "-" sign.

Times is "*" multiplication.

is refers to the equal "=" sign.

We'll use x to refer to "my age".

Therefore:

[tex]3x-8=100[/tex]

I assume we're trying to find "my age"? So let's solve for that then.

[tex]3x-8=100\\3x=108\\x=36 years[/tex]
