Answer: x=3x-6

Explanation:

Cindy's age x, is 3 times her age 6 years ago

Cindy's age is x

6 years ago Cindy's age is x-6 , 6 years before we subtract 6 from years

Cindy's age x, is 3 times her age 6 years ago

Cindy's age x, is 3 times x-6

3 times x-6 is 3(x-6)

Cindy's age x, is 3(x-6)

The equation that represents the given statement is x=3(x-6)
