Just an examples
If your AAoA was originally 5.8 years, with N cards, and you add two, then the new AAoA would be:
(N * 5.8) / (N + 2)
The expression "N * 5.8" gives your total account age, which then needs to be spread across N + 2 accounts.

The formula isn't a secret. It's like averaging anything else. You add up the values and divide by the number of values. Some find it easier converting to months, calculating and converting back but the formula posted by user5387 is a bit easier IMO when the prior AAoA is known.
