Answer 1

Answer:

The Subtraction equation use to find the age of his oldest relative is $x-79=5$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Age of youngest  relative = 5 years

We need to write a subtraction equation that could be used to find the age of his oldest relative.

Solution:

Let the age of the oldest relative be 'x'.

Now given:

Age of youngest  relative is 79 years less than the age of his oldest relative.

So we can say that;

Age of oldest relative minus 79 is equal to Age of the youngest relative.

framing in equation form we get;

$x-79=5$

Hence the Subtraction equation use to find the age of his oldest relative is $x-79=5$.
