Question 28341: Caitlin is 21 years old, which is 6 less then 3 times Kims age. Which equaition could be used to slove for Kims age? How old is kim?
Answer by emmychan(11) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use y for Kim's age and x for Caitlin's.
x = 21
3y - 6 = x
Sub 21 for x
3y - 6 = 21
Add 6 to both sides.
3y = 27
Divide both sides by 3.
y = 9
