25 points? 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 :)

solve the equation 3c-4=17

choice 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3c-4=17

3c=17+4

3c=21

3c÷3=21÷3

c=7

age of cousin =7

7

step-by-step explanation:

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
