Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age. Suri is 17 years old. Which method can be used to find c, her cousin's age?

1. Subtract 4 from 17, then divide by 3.
2. Solve the equation 4c - 3 = 17.
3. Add 4 to 17, then multiply by 3.
4. Solve the equation 3c - 4 = 17.

1, 2, 3, or 4? Thanks :)
