Question

ashley is 4 years less than 3 times savannahs age. if ashley is 29 years old, how old is savannah? please help!

Answer 1

11 years old

Explanation:

Let x be Savannah's age

Ahsleys age should be 4 years less than three times Savannah's age

3x (Savannah) - 4 (years)

Then, you make an equation.

29 years old = 3x-4

simplify:

add four on both sides

33=3x

divide by three on both sides

x=11
