The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.

We have then:

x: Age of Mark

Mark's age two years ago is given by:


x-2

We know that Mark's age is six times the age he was two years ago.

Therefore, the expression that models the problem is given by:


x = 6 (x-2)

Answer:

The equation that models the problem is:


x = 6 (x-2)

option 3
