400 reduced by 3 times my age is 214

Let my age be a. We have:

3 times my age:
3a

400 reduced by 3 times my age:
400 - 3a

The word is means an equation. So we set 400 - 3a equal to 214
400 - 3a = 214

Now if you want to solve this equation for a, we type it in the search engine and we get;
a = 62
