Question

Nia is 3 years younger than Jordan. Jordan is 36 years old.

After correctly carrying out the Solve step of the five-step problem-solving plan, which solution should you arrive at to find Nia’s age?





30
33
36
39

Answer 1

Well it's 33. The 5 step problem thing I'm not to sure of.

Answer 2

B. 33 years.

Explanation:

Let N represent Nia's age in years.

We have been given that Nia is 3 years younger than Jordan. So Jordan's age would be 3 years more than Nia's age that is
`N+3` years.

We are told that Jordan is 36 years old. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`N+3=36`

`N+3-3=36-3`

`N=33`

Therefore, Nia's age is 33 years.
